(Auction (jallerm
Dear Bidder,
Heritage held its first Official Auction at the Long Beach Coin Expo in 1985, and for a quarter century, with the support of our
consignors and bidders, we have held an incredible series of successful numismatic auctions. We have set record-after-record,
as our auctions at the Long Beach Coin Expo earned their reputation for prices realized leadership and an exciting show
location. We hope that you have come in person to one - or all - of the thrice annual Long Beach shows, to enjoy the best that
numismatics has to offer. Our ties to the Southern California collecting community will now be strengthened with the opening
of our new gallery and auction room in Beverly Hills.
A wonderful array of American numismatic rarities awaits you in this catalog, the pride of more than 200 consignors. In the
Long Beach floor sessions (and the subsequent Final Session offerings) we will be auctioning about 3,400 lots of numismatic
treasures. Of course, with well in excess of 475,000 registered bidder-members, there will be plenty of demand in play for
these coins. We are especially mindful of the trust that both bidders and consignors have placed in Heritage. In return, we
exert every effort to deliver the highest possible prices in an increasingly global marketplace.
We invite you to read about this Long Beach's anchor consignors.
The Stan Burger Collection, Part Two
Heritage offered early gold and silver highlights from the Stan Burger Collection in our FUN 2010
Signature® Auction. In this Long Beach, Part Two contains additional selections that are particularly
strong in Colonials and high-quality type coins. Specialists and generalists alike will find attractive coins
of interest herein. Mr. Burger started collecting coins at the age of eight, inspired by the change of the
reverse of the Lincoln cent. He searched through the "coin jars" of family friends and relatives. Although
inclined to simply collect coins out of circulation (his best early find was a 1950-D nickel!) rather
than buy coins, he did begin to purchase proof sets from the Mint. Ultimately, with the rise of third-
party grading and the ability to invest more significantly, he began to buy more important coins with
investment potential. His first choice was coins that were "big, old, and gold, followed by big, old, and
silver." Like most numismatists, he also fell in love with the colonial series, with all of their challenges
and rewards. We offer at Long Beach more of the results of two-plus decades of dedicated collecting.
He encourages every collector "to buy the best coin possible; it will increase their satisfaction and investment return, as well
as prove their wives wrong!"
The Chandler Collection, Part Two
Heritage was proud to offer Part One of The Chandler Collector at FUN 2009, and Part Two at FUN 2010. Now we offer a
few additional rarities out of that last consignment. The late - and very private - numismatist who assembled this magnificent
collection traced his numismatic inspiration to a very specific source. Following the death of his wife's grandfather, the family
discovered three wonderful proof sets (dated around the turn of the twentieth century) among his effects. They had been
unaware that their grandfather had any interest in coins, but the spark was soon ignited in them as well as they followed in his
collecting footsteps. Collectors continue to enthuse over these fresh-to-market coins.
The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two
In our FUN 2010 auction, we offered an initial selection of exotic error rarities out of Alfred Melson's world-class collection,
with many from the 1943/44 transition years. Included in this auction are additional Lincoln errors (led by his 1943-S cent
struck on a bronze planchet, certified VF35 by PCGS) and some appealing Indian quarter eagles. More Philadelphia Mint
1943 bronze cents are known than D-mint and S-mint errors put together, putting this among the rarest of the rare errors. This
specimen was unknown to David Lange in 1996, when he published his Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents , only becoming
known to the market in August 1999. This rarity is also unusual in having circulated for so long. The new owner will enjoy the
research opportunities provided. Mint workers have made mistakes as long as coins have been produced, and collectors enjoy
them as much - if not more - than perfect productions.
The Longfellow Collection
Specialists in the gold dollar series will be enthusiastic bidders when the 65 specimens in the Longfellow Collection come onto
the auction block at Long Beach. All numismatists (and not just Charlotte collectors) will be anxious to examine his 1849-C
Open Wreath gold dollar, certified XF45 by NGC. This is a major rarity by any measure, with only four confirmed examples (with
a fifth rumored). Other exceptional gold dollars are his: 1849-C Closed Wreath Variety 1 (MS64 NGC, tied for finest certified);
1853-D Variety 5-G (MS66 NGC, CAC; the only 66, with none finer); 1855 (MS66 PCGS, CAC); and an 1875
(MS66 PCGS, CAC).
The consignor of this magnificent collection had previously assembled a world-class collection of three dollar gold pieces, and
then decided to focus on gold dollars because he "liked the way they looked." Eye-appeal is obviously mixed with a deep sense
of their historic context. The better part of a decade was spent collecting, with constant upgrading. The consignor's favorite, and
the source of much pride, is his 1853-D; a difficult pursuit that resulted in owning the finest known. Proceeds from this auction
will be spent on the consignor's other love - a new airplane to enjoy his weekly travels.
The South Texas Collection
The 20 lots of the South Texas Collection reflect the aspirations of many advanced coin collectors, containing classic rarities.
Early gold is especially well represented, with his 1 795 half eagle Small Eagle BD-1 (MS60 NGC) among the best. A matched
pair of 1907 High Relief double eagles (Wire Rim MS62 PCGS and Flat Rim MS63 NGC, CAC) will also be popular. His 1 798
Large Eagle dollar, Pointed 9, B-27, BB-113 (AU58 NGC) will not disappoint early silver specialists. The collector chose to
buy rare coins for their history and diversification of his portfolio, motivators understood by most serious collectors, but his
methodology is surprising -- in the oil and gas business, our consignor would take his first income check from a new well and
buy one coin. As can be discerned, he has been most successful in both his vocation and hobby.
We invite you to use the world's best research tool - our free Auction Archives at HA.com - to do your homework on bid prices.
It now contains detailed full-color images, lot descriptions, and prices realized for far more than one million numismatic items
sold in our prior auctions. This is the world's most incredible numismatic pricing library. It contains information that will truly
help you maximize your success when bidding at auction. Heritage has made it easy to add exciting items to your important
collection.
We have made it equally easy to participate once your research is concluded. While we continue to have successful mail
bidders in every Signature® auction, this is simply not the most practical way to participate. Successful bidding participation -
and controlling the size of your invoice - is made much easier when you participate through our unique Interactive Internet™
bidding system at HA.com; by providing a continual flow of information on the success of your bids, you know when to bid
higher or focus on your most desired lots. Of course, before the floor sessions begin, you can also bid by Fax or by e-mail.
During the floor sessions, increasing numbers of successful bidders are participating through our HERITAGE Live! bidding
system at HA.com/Live; you will definitely want to try this at your first opportunity, so that you are familiar with it before a major
auction. You can also bid by agent or by phone during the floor sessions. We always recommend that you join us in Long Beach
for these exciting auctions - and curiously, many bidders still participate by computer or phone to maximize their social time!
However you choose to bid, we wish you good luck!
Please stop by the Heritage tables on the Long Beach bourse to say hello, or visit us in the lot viewing room.
Sincerely,
President Executive Vice President

67.7 gn. Silver-gray and charcoal hues prevail on this lightly

6 (c. 1828) American Plantations 1/24 Part Real, Restrike MS62
PCGS. Newman 4-E, W-1155, R.5. One of the two Restrike
marriages per the recent Whitman Early American reference,

surfaces are smooth and cream-gray aside from a pair of small darkly
toned border areas on the reverse. Listed on page 39 of the 2010
Guide Book. (#52)

Breen-133. UTILE DULCI. Stops after REX and 1722. A sharply
struck olive-brown piece with a dash of mauve patina on the obverse
center. The obverse is beautifully smooth, while the reverse has
only a couple of unimportant marks. A touch of wear on the rose
accounts for the grade. Listed on page 40 of the 2010 Guide Book.

From The Stan Burger Collection, Part Two.(#181)
11 1739-BB French Colonies Sou Marque MS65 NGC. Breen-608.
Vlack-250, R.2. Strasbourg Mint. A remarkable Gem that appears
virtually the same today as when it was issued. The undisturbed
ivory-gray fields are lustrous and offer traces of tan toning. Evenly
struck, and without planchet issues. It would take a Herculean

Important Uniface Auctori Plebis Token
Breen-1152, Choice Very Fine
34 Uniface Obverse Auctori Plebis Token VF35 NGC. Breen-
1152, “extremely rare.” The bust faces right and a period and two
cinquefoils follows PLEBIS, but without other ornamentation in
the legend. Lovely light chestnut-tan toning. A difficult issue to
grade, since the presence of raised die lines in the fields suggests
minimal circulation wear, but the profile is featureless (as intended
by the maker), which gives an incorrect impression of long use in
commerce. (#966)
35 1789 Mott Token, Thick Planchet, Plain Edge MS62 Brown

cap distant from the Y in her name, and the reverse with the 1 in
the numerator well-centered over a denominator with the digit 2
high. This is a moderately worn representative from the historic
first year of Philadelphia Mint coinage, the smaller of just two
denominations struck in 1793. Deep walnut-brown surfaces show
few overt abrasions, though numerous planchet flaws can be found
across the obverse, as well as through the lower and right reverse.
Nonetheless, a pleasing coin sure to delight the winning bidder.

Popular 1793 Half Cent, C-3, VF30
56 1793 VF30 PCGS. C-3, B-3, R.3. The 7 is short and the L
in LIBERTY is low, identifying the obverse. The reverse is
distinguished by a crowded fraction. Having the sharpness of XF,
this piece is net graded because of a few tiny rim bruises on each
side. Otherwise, the surfaces are pleasing with intermingled tan
and darker olive. Trivial marks on each side are consistent with the
grade. In addition, there is a natural planchet crack at 7 o’clock
that remains from the time this piece was minted in 1793. The
strike is sharp and nicely centered with full obverse and reverse
borders, although the planchet was apparently narrow, leaving little
margin outside the border beads. MRB Fine 12. (#1000)
57 1797 Plain Edge Fine 12 PCGS. C-2, B-2, R.3. An ebony-

Cohen-3 is notoriously difficult to procure nice. Manley states
“the finest known [is]reported as Extremely Fine.” This medium

combination of a Small 5 obverse with a Stems reverse is the
scarcest among 1805 half cents, though ironically, the same
combination is the only one represented by multiple die pairs.
This well-worn example is surprisingly luminous with generous
cinnamon-rose accents against the chocolate surfaces. MRB VG10.

marks above the H in HALF. MRB MS63. (#1101)

LARGE CENTS
1793 S-4 Periods Chain Cent, VF Details
64 1793 Chain Periods PCGS Genuine S-4, B-5, R.4. The PCGS
number ending in .97 suggests Environmental Damage as the
reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this
coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a VF
specimen that has been corroded.
The rough and wavy dark chocolate surfaces of this piece
suggest that it was buried, and then burnished to diminish the
rough appearance of ground corrosion. A few minor rim bruises
are evident on each side, but they are of little concern. The net
result is a sharply detailed piece that still retains a modicum of
desirability. MRB VG8. (#91341)

tiny peripheral pits. A thin mark appears above the wreath, but
otherwise this piece is refreshingly free from pinscratches. In an old

shows a degree of anomalous flatness. MRB Fine 12. (#1347)

69 1796 Liberty Cap—Rim Damage—NGC. VF Details. S-89,
B-10, R.3. While the surfaces show minor marks, corrosion, and
rim bruises, this is a pleasing example of the S-89 die combination.
Both sides are medium to dark brown with full borders and nice
centering. MRB VG10.(#1392)
70 1796 Liberty Cap VF25 PCGS. S-83, B-4, R.4. This scarce
Liberty Cap marriage is distinguished by obverse die cracks between
the ERT in LIBERTY and in front of Liberty’s mouth. CENT is
softly brought up, but the neck curls are well detailed, and the
deep brown surfaces are refreshingly problem-free. MRB Fine

71 1797 Reverse of 1797, Stems—Environmental Damage—NCS.
VF Details. S-122, B-9, High R.5. A deep blue-brown example of
this rare variety with moderate detail remaining. The extensive
pitted texture on each side suggests burial and later unearthing.

Reverse of 1797, Stems, S-138
72 1797 Reverse of 1797, Stems—Environmental Damage—NGC.
Unc Details. S'138, B'20, R.l. A sharp cinnamon'brown example
of this available die pair with no trace of wear. A pinscratch does
pass below Liberty’s eye, and the surfaces show porosity that is the
result of environmental damage, such as burial and later unearthing.
Still, a readily collectible example. MRB VF30. (#1422)
73 1798 Second Hair Style XF45 NGC. S466, B-32, R.l. Rosewood
and medium'brown surfaces show suggestions of violet. A minimally
abraded coin with smooth visual appeal. For the various Second

Attractive AU53 1800 Cent, S-212
74 1800 AU53 NGC. S-212, B'20, R.3. Among the top dozen or
so examples of the variety. The S-212 variety is sometimes called
the “Chips” variety, named for the die chips at the base of the
00. The appearance is similar to, and sometimes confused with,
S'197, which is known as the “Q” variety. This piece has lightly
abraded surfaces with deep steel and olive toning. MRB VF35.
(#1449)
Choice XF No Stems 1802 Cent, S-231
75 1802 No Stems XF45 PCGS. S'231, B'9, R.l. One of two No
Stems die marriages, further identified by an arc'shaped die crack in
front of the profile. This deep medium brown Choice XF example
lacks significant marks, and the only obvious spot is relegated to
the reverse border at 4 o’clock. MRB VF30. Population: 5 in 45, 6
finer (12/09). (#1476)
76 1803 Small Date, Small Fraction XF40 NGC. S'251, B'8,
R.2. Despite light overall wear, this teak'brown survivor shows
impressive detail in the recesses of Liberty’s hair. Smooth and
pleasing. MRB VF30.(#1482)
77 1805 XF40 NGC. S'267, B'l, R.l. A blunt 1 in the date and
the leaf pair left of the second S in STATES attribute the variety,
which is indicated on the insert. Medium brown patination bathes
both sides, each of which is appropriately defined and free of
significant marks. Quite attractive for an early large cent that saw
some circulation. MRB VF30.(#1510)
78 1810 XF45 NGC. S'282, B'3, R.2. A charming example of the
conditionally challenging Classic Head type. Medium to deep
brown with a smooth reverse and a few minor abrasions on the left
obverse. MRB XF40.(#1549)
79 1810—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. S'283, B'4,

Blue'brown and mahogany surfaces show scattered abrasions and
evidence of a past cleaning. MRB VF30.(#1549)
Near-Mint S-292 1813 Large Cent
80 1813 AU58 NGC. S'292, B'2, R.2. On the reverse, the second

touch of rub affects the high points of this Classic cent, which
offers better'than'average detail and caramel overtones against
the dominant chocolate hues of the smooth surfaces. MRB XF45.

81 1820 Large Date MS64 Brown NGC. N'13, R.l. Grellman Die

classified as Brown, this generally violet'brown piece does show
traces of muted orange near the rims. MRB MS60.(#1615)
82 1820 Large Date MS65 Red and Brown NGC. N'13, R.l. A
lovely example of the popular and plentiful N'13 variety that is
almost certainly from the famous Randall Hoard. This variety is
an ideal candidate for a type collection due to its availability. MRB
MS63.(#1616)
83 1823/2 VF25 NGC. Nd, Low R.2. While not scarce in an

chocolate'brown surfaces showing light to moderate abrasions.
MRB VF20.(#1630)
84 1837 Plain Cords, Medium Letters MS65 Brown NGC. N'8,
R.l. Bold crisp denticles, a bold dot between EN of CENT, die
scratches over ERIC, a spindly die crack on the upper reverse from
11 to 1 o’clock, and a light crack down from the right base of the
E in ONE confirm the variety. Lustrous tambrown surfaces display
tints of purple and sharply struck design elements, save for the
typical softness in the centers of the left and upper border stars. A
highly attractive large cent. MRB MS60+. Census for the issue: 56
in 65 Brown, 23 finer (12/09).(#1735)
85 1837 Plain Cords, Medium Letters MS63 Red and Brown

couple of unobtrusive marks, and a small spot is on the bottom loop
of the 8 in the date. MRB MS60+.(#1736)
86 1839/6 VG8 NGC. N'l, High R.3. From early dies without any

Distinctive Undated Braided Hair Large Cent
Struck on Half Cent Planchet, Fine Details
87 Undated Braided Hair Large Cent—Struck on a Half Cent
Planchet, Scratches—NCS. Fine Details. 4.69 gm. All of STATES
on the reverse, as well as parts of UNITED and OF on that side
and most of the date on the obverse, are off the flan. Luminous
chocolate-brown surfaces show a number of long scratches
through the fields, and each side exhibits significant wear. Still,
a highly desirable example of an early wrong-planchet error. MRB

88 1841 MS65 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. N-3, R.2. Grellman

Undated (1847 N-l) Mature Head Large Cent
Struck 35% Off-Center, MS64 Brown
89 Undated Mature Head Cent—Struck 35% Off-Center—MS64
Brown NGC. No date visible, but die markers, including a short
diagonal line on Liberty’s jaw, lines at RTY, and a lump on the base
of E in CENT, identify this piece as 1847 N-l. Struck off-center
just to the left of 6 o’clock; the unstruck arcs have an olive-gold
cast, while deeper copper-blue and violet hues are present at the
struck areas. A bold and intriguing error. MRB AU50.
Dramatic N-31 1848 Large Cent Error
Struck 70% Off-Center, MS63 Brown
90 1848 Large Cent—Struck 70% Off-Center—MS63 Brown
NGC. N-31, R.2. Though this large cent error was struck about
70% off-center toward 11 o’clock, this leaves two important pieces
of information on the flan: first the date, and second the tiny
die line between the ES in STATES that identifies the variety.
Mushroom-brown surfaces show elements of blue and violet. MRB

91 1849 MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. N-3, R.4. Grellman Die State
g. Grellman lists 22 distinct die states in his standard reference, due

the centers are brown. Unabraded and beautifully preserved. MRB
MS60+.(#1887)
92 1851 MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. N-2, R.l. Much closer to
Red than Brown, although the cheek and obverse field are slightly
too mellowed to command a Red designation. Lustrous and crisply
struck with minor carbon and a solitary graze near the profile. MRB
MS60+.(#1893)
Splendid 1853 N-3 Cent, MS66 Red and Brown
93 1853 MS66 Red and Brown PCGS. N-3, R.l. This lovely
Premium Gem has considerable original red mint luster with
considerable blue-brown toning, about 50% of each. The surfaces
are smooth and frosty, with flowlines on the obverse and clashmarks
on both sides, as struck. MRB MS64. Population: 5 in 66 Red and
Brown, 0 finer (1/10). (#1902)
94 1854 MS65 Red and Brown NGC. N-14, Low R.2. Grellman

considerable faded red remains at the margins of this Gem. Solid
centers but softly struck stars. MRB MS60.(#1928)
97 1857 Small Date MS64 Brown PCGS. N-4, R.l. The lines
down from the earlobe allow for identification. The obverse has

FLYING EAGLE CENTS
99 1857—Reverse Die Clash With Seated Quarter, Improperly
Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. FS-901, formerly FS-005. Snow-8.
The reversed outline of the eagle’s neck and wings from a Seated
Liberty quarter is clearly visible in the area through and above
ONE on the Flying Eagle cent reverse. Olive-brown surfaces with
dark outlines at the obverse margins show the aftereffects of a past
cleaning.
100 1857 MS64 PCGS. Lustrous salmon-pink and orange surfaces host
well struck devices. A small carbon spot is noted below the second
S in STATES, and on the reverse, a tiny mark is visible below the
Tin CENT. (#2016)
102 1858 Large Letters MS64 NGC. Low Leaves, Open E in ONE.
A crisply struck and shimmering Choice type coin with blended
almond-gold and steel-gray toning. Marks are insignificant,
and the obverse margin displays interesting slender die cracks.
(#2019)
Attractive MS65 1858 Small Letters Cent
103 1858 Small Letters MS65 NGC. Low Leaves Reverse, Closed E
in ONE. The Small Letters variety with clear separation between
all letters in AMERICA. This Gem offers smooth eye appeal with
light honey-gold surfaces showing occasional elements of deeper
copper-peach. A small dark spot below the eagle’s beak is of little
concern when compared to the overall eye appeal. (#2020)
PROOF FLYING EAGLE CENTS
Snow-3 1856 Flying Eagle Cent PR 10
104 1856 PR10 PCGS. CAC. Snow-3. Although designated as a
proof by PCGS, this is the business strike variety coined in 1856 for
distribution to Washington officials. This tan-brown representative
is evenly circulated and minutely granular. No marks are remotely
consequential save for tiny rim ticks at 4 o’clock on the obverse
and 1:30 on the reverse. (#2037)
Appealing 1857 Gem Flying Eagle Cent
101 1857 MS65 NGC. Light tan-gold patination resides on the
lustrous surfaces of this Gem and a well executed strike delivers
sharp definition to the design elements, including the breast,
wings, and bow knot. A couple of minute flecks on the reverse
are undisturbing. Both sides present nice overall eye appeal.

Famous 1856 Flying Eagle Cent, PR62
105 1856 PR62 PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal, Card Included.
Snow-9, a variety associated with proof production of this historic
issue that has been avidly sought since its debut more than 150
years ago. An intricately struck and satiny specimen that has a
single identifier, a small thin mark on the right border of the T
in UNITED. Careful examination also reveals a faint retained
lamination near the obverse border at 8 o’clock. The obverse is
golden-brown, and the reverse has dusky blended walnut and olive
toning. The price of an 1856 Flying Eagle cent climbs relatively
slowly with grade on a percentage basis, indicating that unworn,
unimpaired examples provide excellent value relative to their
circulated counterparts. (#2037)
106 1856 PR63 PCGS. Snow-9, a familiar variety for the surprisingly
high-mintage Flying Eagle cent patterns of 1856. The date is
popularly collected as part of the regular series, though the coins’
pattern status is unquestioned. The present Select proof is sharply
struck with a mixture of dusky gold-orange and light brown color
on the surfaces. The obverse shows a handful of minor flyspecks,
including one just along the lower line of the eagle’s body. On the
reverse, the disturbance around the EN in CENT is a planchet
flaw which does not influence the technical grade, though the
field to the right of ONE does show a shallow contact mark.

1858 Large Letters Flying Eagle Cent, PR66
Approximately 20 Times Rarer Than the 1856
107 1858 Large Letters PR66 NGC. Snow PR-1. High Leaves,
Closed E in ONE. An incredibly rare small cent issue, one of
only 80 examples of the Large Letters Flying Eagle cent struck
in proof format, a mintage figure that automatically makes this
date about 20 times rarer than the 1856 Flying Eagle cent. On
top of that, perhaps only 50 or 60 pieces from that original
production figure of 80 coins can be traced today. By way of
contrast, the 1858 Small Letters proof coinage amounted to
200 pieces, and for the 1857 nearly 500 specimens were issued.
The reflective, sunset-orange surfaces show considerable faded
red around the obverse periphery and most of the reverse,
which adds accents of aqua and indigo. All design elements
are sharp and crisp, and one must search diligently with a
loupe to detect even the smallest detrimental marks or flecks.
A collection highlight in the making. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer
(1/10). (#2042)

Spectacular Cameo Proof 1858 Large Letters Cent, PR67
108 1858 Large Letters PR67 Cameo NGC. Snow-PRl, the
obverse with small die chips in the denticles below the date,
which slopes up and to the right; these chips are weakened
but visible. The reverse is the High Leaves variety, as with
all proof 1858 Large Letters cents. Richard Snow lists an
estimated mintage of 100 Large Letters proofs in his Guide Book
of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents.
As might be expected a mintage of just 100 pieces, high-
grade specimens are rarities; in the NGC Census Report, there
are only four proof Flying Eagle cents at the 67 grade level,
regardless of issue or contrast designation, with none finer
(1/10). Of the four pieces, three are of the 1858 Large Letters
Variety, two Cameo and one Ultra Cameo, and the possibility of
a multiple submission among the three 1858 Large Letters coins
cannot be ruled out entirely. In addition, the PCGS Population
Report shows no 1858 Large Letters pieces in PR67 or higher.
Snow notes for the issue in his Guide Book, “The Proofs of
this year are usually exceptional with deep mirror fields and
outstanding strikes.” True to those words, this Superb Gem has
remarkably reflective surfaces, rose-accented copper-gold with
pale lilac-blue peripheral elements. Lightly frosted, fully struck
devices supply considerable contrast that meets more than the
minimum needed for a Cameo designation. A small contact
mark below the second S in STATES serves as a pedigree
marker, and a minor strike-through is visible below the trailing
ribbon to the left of the knot on the reverse. (#82042)

certified a mere eight finer representatives (1/10). (#2058)
Remarkable MS66 ★ 1861 Cent
111 1861 MS66 ★ NGC. Unusual and exciting color defines the eye
appeal of this Premium Gem. Gold-orange, rose-violet, and blue-

An uncommonly beautiful and delightfully preserved example of
this copper-nickel Indian cent issue. NGC has graded a mere three
numerically finer pieces (1/10). (#2061)
112 1862 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Copper-gold luster envelops both
sides of this Gem, each of which is devoid of significant marks.

Very Rare Copper-Nickel 1864 With L Cent
Sharpness of AU
113 1864 L On Ribbon—Struck on a Copper-Nickel Planchet,
Corroded—ANACS. AU50 Details. This well struck medium-
brown and rose example has little if any actual wear but is
moderately porous and has distributed tiny freckles of ebony
verdigris. The progression of 1864 cents is Copper-Nickel, Bronze
No L, Bronze L On Ribbon. A few Copper-Nickel L On Ribbon
pieces exist. Richard Snow, in the second edition of his 1859-
1869 attribution guide, states that three examples are known: two
pieces from proof dies and a single business strike. The present
piece, discovered after the publication of the aforementioned
guide, is also a business strike and matches none of the three L
On Ribbon proof obverse dies. The Copper-Nickel L On Ribbon
pieces are difficult to classify. They are listed as Judd-358 but could
also be considered off-metal errors, similar to the famous 1943
bronze cent. However, since they were struck on regular issue dies
in an alloy used for circulation that year, they are technically a
regular issue rather than a mint error or pattern. If so, Snow notes,
“they would certainly be one of the rarest regular issue coins in all
numismatics.”
114 1865 Plain 5 MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Snow-6, 865/865.
Repunching is visible under the tops of the digits. Richard Snow
writes in the second edition of his 1859-1869 Attribution Guide:
“This variety is slightly scarce. The finest seen is MS-65RB.”
Copper-gold luster shows through whispers of light tan patina
on this well struck Red and Brown Gem. Devoid of mentionable
marks and spots. Population for the issue: 14 in 65 Red and Brown,
0 finer (12/09).(#92083)
115 1866 MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Light tan patination resides

Highly Attractive 1869 Cent, Snow-4, MS64 Red
118 1869 MS64 Red PCGS. CAC. Snow-4. The 69 in the date is
lightly repunched north. Copper-gold luster enlivens both sides of
this near-Gem, each of which exhibits well struck design features. A
few minuscule flecks are undisturbing. All in all, a highly attractive
coin, appropriately recognized by CAC. Population: 45 in 64 Red,
35 finer (12/09). (#2096)
119 1870 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Red and Brown PCGS.
CAC. FS-101, formerly FS-008.6. Snow-1, paired with a reverse
that shows minor die doubling on the upright of the E in CENT.
The obverse is repunched and exhibits a widely die doubled TY in
LIBERTY. Bold N in ONE. Golden-brown overall with glimpses of
sea-green on the portrait highpoints. Well struck and unabraded.
(#2098)
120 1873 Open 3 MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Whispers
of reddish-tan and sky-blue run over the lustrous surfaces of this
well cared-for Gem. Sharply struck, including the feather tips and
all four diamonds. Only the upper part of the shield shows some
minor softness. Population: 50 in 65 Red and Brown, 3 finer (1/10).
(#2107)
121 1877 VF30 NGC. The slightly deeper brown fields of this key
date representative nicely highlight the lighter design motifs. Great
overall definition despite light, even wear. The letters LI and RTY
of LIBERTY are sharp, as are the tops of BE. Attractive, clean
surfaces add to the coin’s appeal.(#2127)
Popular 1877 Cent, XF40
122 1877 XF40 NGC. A deeply toned walnut-brown representative
of this perennial collector favorite, lightly worn with only a few
scattered digs in and around the portrait. As always on circulation-
strike pieces, the lower corner of the N in ONE is softly defined. A
great coin for a similarly graded or slightly higher-condition date
set. (#2127)
1877 Cent, MS63 Red and Brown
123 1877 MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. Eagle Eye Seal, Card
Included. Shallow N in ONE, characteristic of business strikes
of this famous series key. Orange-gold fills the borders and design
recesses, while the open fields and face are brown. The strike is good,
although the feather tips and the bow knot exhibit incompleteness.
Unabraded aside from a pair of nearly imperceptible thin marks
through the bonnet ribbon and the M in AMERICA. Carbon is
limited to the field beneath STATES. (#2128)
124 1892 MS66 Red and Brown PCGS. Lustrous copper-tan surfaces
exhibit sharply struck design elements, including crispness on the
diamonds and about half of the feather tips. A couple of minute
obverse marks do not detract. Population: 1 in 66 Red and Brown,
0 finer (1/10).(#2182)
125 1895 MS66 Red NGC. A bold strike and rich orange luster
characterize this Premium Gem Indian cent. A splash of olive
toning is visible on the obverse. Census: 32 in 66 Red, 8 finer
(1/10).(#2192)
126 1895 MS66 Red NGC. Even, fiery red mint luster covers both
sides of this impressive, high grade type coin. The striking details
are strong throughout, and the only mentionable flaw is a tiny
speck of carbon at 6 o’clock on the lower reverse. Census: 32 in 66
Red, 8 finer (1/10).(#2192)
Amazing MS67 Red 1902 Indian Cent
127 1902 MS67 Red PCGS. Phenomenal quality in an Indian cent
and undoubtedly one of the finest type coins available on the
market today in this “common” series. Indian cents are only
common until one begins to search for a coin of this quality. That is
when it becomes apparent how great the demand is and how tightly
held such pieces are. This example has totally original surfaces.
The obverse is even orange-red, while the reverse is a deeper,
almost cherry-red. The abrasions and carbon spots usually seen on
Indian cents are absent here, and the strike is sharp. Population: 9
in 67 Red, 0 finer (1/10). (#2213)

129 1866 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Reddish-tan freckles with
an occasional sky-blue dapple run over each side of this near-

classification. Population: 75 in 64 Red and Brown, 50 finer (1/10).

132 1868 PR64 Red PCGS. This delightful proof has fully brilliant
pale orange surfaces with hints of toning on each side. A few minor
spots preclude an even finer designation. The reverse is rotated
approximately 170 degrees clockwise. Population: 28 in 64 Red, 9
finer (12/09).(#2293)
Red Gem Proof 1870 Cent
133 1870 PR65 Red PCGS. CAC. Shallow N in ONE. A lovely
example of this elusive date. The pumpkin-gold surfaces are
virtually unmellowed, and are clean aside from a fleck beneath the
F in OF. The strike appears full, even on the tips of the headdress.
A highly attractive Gem proof Indian cent. Population: 23 in 65
Red, 4 finer (12/09). (#2299)
134 1871 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. Eagle Eye Photo Seal, Card
Included. Shallow N in ONE. The color is primarily apricot,
although the centers exhibit mild lilac or jade-green hues. This well
struck Gem has a few distributed pinpoint flecks. (#2301)
135 1872 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Bold N in ONE.
This precisely struck Gem approaches full Red, since the coin is
predominately orange and sun-gold. Satiny and undisturbed aside
from a pinpoint spot at 5 o’clock on the reverse.(#2304)
136 1873 Closed 3 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Eagle Eye Seal,
Card Included. This needle-sharp Choice proof cent displays
cobalt-blue, apple-green, and violet at the centers, while the
borders are sun-gold. A popular, lower mintage date.(#2307)
Stunning 1873 Cent, Closed 3, PR66 Red
137 1873 Closed 3 PR66 Red NGC. This stunning Premium Gem
displays a degree of field-motif contrast at various angles, especially
on the obverse. The copper-gold surfaces are imbued with traces
of crimson and sky-blue on the reverse and exhibit razor-sharp
definition on the design elements. Devoid of significant contacts or
spots. Census: 2 in 66 Red, 0 finer (12/09). (#2308)
Lovely Red Gem Proof 1875 Cent
139 1875 PR65 Red PCGS. Bold copper-orange color shows occasional
subtle variations, such as tiny milk-white spots through the upper
borders. Strongly mirrored for a copper proof of the era with bold
definition and no singularly mentionable flaws. PCGS has graded
just two finer Red specimens (12/09). (#2314)
Dynamic PR65 Red 1876 Cent
140 1876 PR65 Red PCGS. CAC. A needle-sharp Centennial-year
Gem, noteworthy for its field reflectivity and its radiant yellow-gold
and ruby-red color. A few minute flecks beneath the shoulder curl
fail to distract. Encased in an old green label holder. Population: 20
in 65 Red, 8 finer (12/09). (#2317)
Elegant 1876 Cent, Red Gem Proof
141 1876 PR65 Red PCGS. An amazing Red Gem struck during
America’s Centennial celebrations, an event that coincided and
arguably presaged the elevated proof mintages seen in later proof
Indian cent issues. Strong lemon-gold color dominates the obverse,
while the upper fringes of that side and most of the reverse show
a deeper peach hue. The surfaces never approach Red and Brown
territory. Population: 20 in 65 Red, 8 finer (1/10). (#2317)
138 1875 PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. A appealing woodgrain effect
dominates the eye appeal, with speckled purple-violet and red-gold
patina across both sides. Crisply struck with watery reflectivity in
the fields and impressive surface preservation. Several tiny die lines
and die lumps (as struck) appear just beneath Liberty’s earlobe.
Population: 8 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (1/10).(#2313)

Popular PR63 Red 1877 Cent
142 1877 PR63 Red PCGS. This Select proof shows considerable
variation in color, from lemon-gold to hazel, honey to cherry, yet
no shade falls into strictly “Brown” territory. Aside from a handful
of flyspecks and hairlines, an entirely pleasing example of this
popular proof issue, made famous by its low-mintage business strike
counterpart. (#2320)
143 1878 PR65 Red PCGS. Bold copper-orange color has remained
steadfast for more than a century. A remarkably appealing Gem
specimen with a crisp strike. Population: 36 in 65 Red, 9 finer
(12/09). (#23 23)
Prized PR66 Red Cameo 1881 Cent
144 1881 PR66 Red Cameo NGC. The mirrored fields highlight the
devices on this Premium Gem Red Cameo proof, and an exacting
strike leaves sharp definition on the design features. Copper-gold
surfaces are devoid of mentionable contact marks, though a few
tiny light flecks are visible on each side. Great overall eye appeal.
(#82332)
145 1886 Type Two PR65 Red and Brown NGC. Fantastic magenta,
cherry, violet, and olive-brown hues enliven this sharply struck
Gem. A carefully preserved specimen with amazing eye appeal.
(#92346)
146 1889 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. Vivaciously toned in shades of
aqua-blue, lilac-red, and apple-green. Nicely struck and unabraded
with no obvious carbon. An affordable high grade 19th century
type coin. (#2355)
147 1891 PR65 Red PCGS. Certified in a green-label holder with
the expected needle-sharp strike, this pleasing Red Gem proof
boasts a consistent brick-red appearance with lighter golden color
on the high points. Population: 15 in 65 Red, 4 finer (12/09).
(#2362)
148 1893 PR65 Red PCGS. Rich orange, gold, and olive dominate,
but a blush of crimson-lilac iridescence is noted over Liberty’s
headdress. A few minute obverse flecks correspond with the
assigned grade. A conditionally scarce issue. Housed in a green
label holder. Population: 26 in 65 Red, 8 finer (12/09).
Ex: Joshua Collection (Heritage, 1/2001), lot 6298. (#2368)
149 1897 PR66 Red and Brown NGC. From cherry-red to magenta
through violet and blueberry, this Premium Gem proof’s eclectic
and electric patina should appeal to the toning enthusiast. Carefully
preserved with outlandish eye appeal. Census: 14 in 66 Red and
Brown, 4 finer (12/09).(#2379)
150 1898 PR67 Red and Brown NGC. The fire-red color that fills the
obverse center has subtle lime hues at the fringes. The more deeply
toned reverse exhibits plum, gold, and olive colors. Exquisitely
struck, as expected of a proof striking. Carefully preserved with
minimal carbon.(#2382)
151 1902 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. This precisely struck and
glossy near-Gem displays cherry-red, canary-gold, and olive-green
hues. Encapsulated in an old green label holder. (#2394)
LINCOLN CENTS
152 1909 VDB Doubled Die Obverse MS65 Red and Brown PCGS.
FS-1101, formerly FS-012. The date and the RTY in LIBERTY are
nicely die doubled. A splendid Gem with considerable orange mint
color, especially on the obverse.(#82424)
Impressive 1909 VDB Cent, MS66 Red
FS-1101, Doubled Die Obverse
153 1909 VDB Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red PCGS. FS-1101,
formerly FS-012. Portions of LIBERTY and the date are strongly die
doubled on the FS-1101, not to be confused with the other obverse
doubled die variety listed in the Cherry picker s’ Guide, FS-1102,
which is less impressive. Putting aside considerations of the variety,
this example is a fire-red Premium Gem with an exemplary strike
and no individually distracting marks. Thorough perusal beneath
a glass eventually encounters a few pinpoint flecks, but the overall
eye appeal is amazing for the grade. Population: 7 in 66 Red, 1 finer
(1/10). (#82425)
154 1909-S VDB XF45 NGC. A minimally marked and attractive
teak-brown example of the famous 1909-S VDB cent. A small dot
of deeper color is centered on the left side of the M in AMERICA
on the reverse.(#2426)

155 1909-S VDB—Environmental Damage—NGC. AU Details.
This sharply struck key date cent has substantial luster and minimal
wear. Streaks of steebblue and gunmetal-gray fail to overlie all traces
of the initial pumpkin-gold color. One hair-thin horizontal mark
near the ear, but the surfaces show only unobtrusive granularity.
(#2426)
156 1909-S VDB MS63 Brown NGC. Gold luster shows through
the thin veil of semi-streaked light tan patination. A decisive
strike leaves strong definition on the design elements, including
the date, mintmark, and designer initials. A few minuscule ticks
are unimportant. An appealing piece for the grade and color
designation. (#2426)
157 1909-S VDB MS64 Brown NGC. Copper-gold luster shows
through the whispers of light tan patina and a decisive strike leaves
sharp detail on the design elements, including the date, mintmark,
and designer’s initials. Very pleasing for a near-Gem and the Brown
color designation. (#2426)
Pleasing 1909-S VDB Cent, MS64 Red and Brown
158 1909-S VDB MS64 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. Soft mint-
green, crimson, and gold patination assumes slightly deeper hues on
the reverse of this near-Gem. Lustrous surfaces exhibit well struck
design features, though the VDB initials are somewhat mushy. A
few light marks take nothing from the pleasing overall eye appeal.
(#2427)
Attractive 1909-S VDB Cent, MS65 Red and Brown
159 1909-S VDB MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. A mix of attractive
purple, orange, mint-green, and sky-blue patination adorns both
sides of this Gem. A well executed strike delivers strong definition
to the design elements, though the VDB initials are a tad soft.
Devoid of mentionable marks or spots. (#2427)
Sharp 1909-S VDB Cent, MS66 Red and Brown
160 1909-S VDB MS66 Red and Brown PCGS. This Premium Gem
key date representative exhibits sharply defined design elements,
including the bow tie and wheat stalks and the all-important
mintmark and VDB initials. A blend of gold, maroon, and sky-blue
patination bathes well cared-for surfaces. Population: 28 in 66 Red
and Brown, 0 finer (12/09). (#2427)
Dazzling 1909-S VDB Cent, MS65 Red
161 1909-S VDB MS65 Red NGC. CAC. Dazzling luster and
beautiful orange-red color confirm the exemplary quality of this
key date Gem. The strike is sharp, even on the often blurry initials.
Unabraded, and only the rare pinpoint fleck denies perfection.
Encased in a prior generation holder. (#2428)
Appealing 1909-S VDB Red Gem Cent
162 1909-S VDB MS65 Red PCGS. Uniform copper-gold luster
invigorates both sides of this key-date Gem representative. An
exacting strike delivers crisp delineation to the design features,
readily apparent in the date, mintmark, and VDB initials. No
mentionable contact marks or spots take away from the great
overall eye appeal. (#2428)
163 1909-S MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. Like nearly all surviving
examples, this Gem is fully brilliant with golden mint luster and
bold design definition. A few darker toning splashes on each side
do little to diminish the excellent eye appeal. (#2434)
164 1912-S MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. Copper-orange coloration
with hints of light green bathes both sides of this Gem and a well
executed strike leaves sharp detail on the design elements save
for softness in the right wheat stalk. What appears to be a linear
planchet flaw is visible on the shoulder. Population: 26 in 65 Red
and Brown, 2 finer (1/10). (#245 7)
165 1914-D XF45 PCGS. Attractive medium-brown color with subtle
blue overtones on the obverse. Only a few stray marks are present
on this lightly circulated better-date cent. Previously graded XF45
by NGC; insert accompanies lot.(#2471)
Exceptional 1914-D Cent, MS64 Brown
166 1914-D MS64 Brown NGC. Light to medium brown surfaces
display hints of underlying reddish-orange luster and a well
executed strike leaves strong definition on the design elements,
including the hair and lettering, areas sometimes showing weakness.
No significant spots are visible. This is an exceptional key date
representative in the Lincoln cent series. Census: 45 in 64 Brown,
17 finer (1/10). (#2471)

Well Struck 1914-D Cent, MS64 Red and Brown
167 1914-D MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. This near-Gem
key-date representative displays a better strike than usually seen,
including strong detail in Lincoln’s hair, the lettering, and the
wheat stalks. A few light freckles of purplish-tan visit the copper-
gold lustrous surfaces. Devoid of significant marks or flecks. Red
and Brown pieces are difficult to locate any finer. (#2472)
Full Red 1914-S Lincoln Cent, MS65
One of the Great Color Rarities in the Series
168 1914-S MS65 Red PCGS. As David Lange explains in his series
reference, the problem with the scarcity of full Red 1914'S cents
lies in the generally poor planchet stock used. He also points out a
conundrum: “It seems that sharply struck coins are invariably dark,
while the few bright examples tend to be mushy.” This coin is the
exception to the rule. It has wonderful, bright red color and is fully
struck. The mattelike surfaces show no mentionable abrasions on
either side. This is a coin for the advanced collector to seriously
consider. Population: 32 in 65 Red, 3 finer (12/09). (#2476)
Magnificent 1919 Cent, MS67 Red
169 1919 MS67 Red PCGS. The 1919 is available with little
trouble through MS65 Red, and even Premium Gems with that
color designation can be located with little difficulty. Superb
Gems are much more challenging, and finer-grade specimens
are nearly unobtainable. Orange-gold luster imbued with tints
of light green endows this MS67 offering. Sharply struck and
impeccably preserved. Population: 58 in 67 Red, 15 finer (12/09).
(#2515)
Red Gem 1919-D Cent
170 1919-D MS65 Red NGC. The obverse of this MS65 1919-D
cent offers amazing copper-orange color that shines boldly with
occasional suggestions of rose. While the reverse displays a degree
of spotting through the upper obverse, the present example displays
well. Census: 21 in 65 Red, 0 finer (1/10). (#2518)
171 1922 No D Strong Reverse VF20 PCGS. FS-401, formerly
FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. This pleasing olive-brown example has all of
the hallmarks of Die Pair 2, considered the only true 1922 “Plain”
Lincoln cent. The obverse has the usual weak strike while the
reverse is bold. The surfaces are smooth with only a few grade-
consistent marks. (#3285)
172 1922 No D Strong Reverse VF25 NGC. FS-401, formerly
FS-013.2. Die Pair 2. This chocolate-brown VF coin shows
occasional rose-violet and gold overtones. Bold lines in the reverse
wheat ears identify its prized variety. (#3 285)
Outstanding MS67 Red 1925 Cent
173 1925 MS67 Red PCGS. Strong lemon-gold and copper-orange
hues dominate the centers, while the margins fade back to pale
peach. All colors on this Superb Gem are thoroughly Red, however,
and thoroughly attractive. A boldly struck and carefully preserved
cent. Population: 55 in 67 Red, 0 finer (12/09). (#2560)
174 1926 MS67 Red PCGS. Pale copper-peach surfaces come alive
with splashes of electric tangerine. A dynamic Superb Gem
example of this much-favored Lincoln cent issue. Population: 77 in
67 Red, 0 finer (12/09).(#2569)
175 1926 MS67 Red PCGS. PCGS has graded no finer Red
representatives than this stunning MS67 coin (12/09). Fresh
orange and lemon luster adds an element of pale sea-green at the
right margins. (#2569)
176 1926 MS67 Red PCGS. A bright and shining Superb Gem with
bold copper-orange luster and crisp definition. Only a few tiny
disturbances in the fields preclude an even finer designation. Tied
for the finest Red example certified by NGC or PCGS (12/09).
(#2569)
177 1926-D MS64 Red PCGS. Attractive copper-gold luster
invigorates both sides of this near-Gem cent and a solid strike brings
out strong definition on the design elements. A few inoffensive
marks preclude Gem status. PCGS has certified fewer than 50
pieces finer (1/10).(#2572)

1943-S Cent Struck in Bronze, VF35
An Amazing Branch Mint Error Rarity
178 1943-S Cent—Struck on a Bronze Planchet—VF35 PCGS.
Coming on the heels of Heritage’s offering of a 1943 bronze
cent struck at Philadelphia in our January 2010 FUN Auction,
we are now proud to present this 1943-S bronze cent for the
February 2010 Long Beach Auction. More Philadelphia Mint
1943 bronze cents are known than D-mint and S-mint errors
put together; most recent censuses state that only one 1943-D
bronze cent is known, plus seven 1943-S bronze cents. The
latter figure, however, may overstate the actual population by
one or even two pieces, since most of the known survivors are
clustered in a narrow range from AU to low Mint State.
In that respect, this coin is unusual by virtue of its Choice
VF grade. It is also a relatively recent entrant to the numismatic
marketplace; it was unknown to David Lange in 1996, when he
published his Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, having been
“kept for decades” privately by the owner, but sold alongside
the Dr. Carl A. Minning, Jr. Collection in an August 1999
auction by Bowers and Merena. How the coin came to be VF,
unlike its fellows, remains unclear.
As expected for a VF35 coin, this piece shows light to
moderate wear over each side, and the surfaces show a number
of light digs and abrasions under magnification. That said, the
overall eye appeal is far better than the preceding sentence
might suggest. The coin’s glossy olive-gold and mushroom-
brown color, accented in cobalt-blue, is highly redeeming, as
is the strike. In short, a memorable opportunity for the Lincoln
cent enthusiast, which could be either a second chance at a
1943-dated bronze cent or the second step to assembling a
“date set” of these famous 20th century rarities.

179 1955 Doubled Die Obverse—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU
Details. FS-101, formerly FS-021.8. A lightly worn example of
the famous doubled die. Rose-violet and olive-brown surfaces are
glossy from a past cleaning, though there are few overt abrasions.
(#2825)
1955 Doubled Die Obverse Cent, MS64 Brown
180 1955 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Brown PCGS. FS-101,
formerly FS-021.8. Blue influences add eye appeal to the smooth
walnut-brown surfaces of this Choice 1955 Doubled Die Obverse
cent. The strike is as bold as the spread on the obverse. A tiny spot
of deep color appears along the right obverse rim, and the upper
reverse shows a faint fingerprint, but these are minor quibbles in
context. (#2825)
Lustrous MS64 Brown 1955 Cent
Doubled Die Obverse
181 1955 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Brown PCGS. FS-101,
formerly FS-021.8. This richly toned Choice Doubled Die cent
displays deep powder-blue, lilac, and olive-brown shades. Lustrous,
crisply struck, and carefully preserved. The Lincoln cent, Wheat
Reverse collection in Brown offers many opportunities as well as
challenges in the current market environment. PCGS has certified
only six Brown examples finer (1/10). (#2825)
Heralded 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Cent
MS64 Red and Brown
182 1955 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Red and Brown NGC. FS-101,
formerly FS-025.5. No magnifying glass is required to appreciate
the dramatic die doubling on the famous 1955 Guide Book variety.
Most survivors are circulated or toned brown, but the present near-
Gem has substantial orange-red, although the portrait high points
are lilac. Lustrous and unabraded. (#2826)
Famous 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Cent
MS64 Red
183 1955 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly
FS-021.8. Remarkable copper-orange luster with minimal obverse
carbon, though the reverse shows scattered flyspecks. The doubling
on the obverse is bold, as is the strike. Fully Red examples of this
famous doubled die variety are highly elusive, and PCGS has graded
just 18 finer pieces in the Red category (1/10). (#2827)
184 1960-D Small Over Large Date MS66 Red PCGS. FS-101,
formerly FS-025.5. The recut D is not noted on the PCGS holder,
nevertheless, the second D is distinct and nearly complete,
although faint, north of the more prominent mintmark. The
doubled date, the result of hub doubling, is plainly visible under
magnification. Beautiful orange-gold luster is imbued with hints
of crimson. Sharply struck and well cared for. Population: 11 in 66
Red, 0 finer (1/10).(#82869)
185 1971 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly
FS-031. All obverse legends are die doubled, most prominently on
the IBER in LIBERTY. Many times rarer than the better known
1972 Doubled Die Obverse. A lustrous and only lightly abraded
orange-gold near-Gem with a few small gray freckles on the left
reverse. Population: 27 in 64 Red, 22 finer (1/10).(#82941)
Notable 1971 Doubled Die Cent, MS65 Red
186 1971 Doubled Die Obverse MS65 Red PCGS. FS-101, formerly
FS-031. Broad doubling through the lower letters and digits, and to
a lesser extent on IN GOD WE TRUST. A bright copper-orange
Gem example of this popular Guide Book variety, minimally marked
but with minor spotting noted in the field below the Lincoln
Memorial. (#82941)

PROOF LINCOLN CENTS
187 1909 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Predominantly fire-red,

(#3304)
Richly Toned PR66 Red and Brown
1909 Lincoln Cent
188 1909 PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. Electric colors dominate the
eye appeal of this post-VDB 1909 Lincoln cent matte proof. Colors
range from pale pink accents to the dominant cherry-rose and
elements of magenta-violet at the margins. Precisely struck with
minimally disturbed surfaces. Population: 23 in 66 Red and Brown,
2 finer (12/09). (#3304)
1909 PR66 Lincoln Cent, Full Red
With Attractive Peripheral Toning
189 1909 PR66 Red PCGS. The boldly impressed devices are contact-
free, and the granular fields range from bright copper-gold to warm
sunset-orange, with a few tiny carbon spots at the lower reverse
periphery. While the matte finish employed on these pieces was
popular for medals, most contemporary numismatists disliked the
finish, and the change is an often-cited culprit for the end of proof
production in 1916. Population: 39 in 66 Red, 6 finer (12/09).
(#3305)
Exceptional PR66 Red 1910 Lincoln Cent
190 1910 PR66 Red PCGS. The matte proof cents from 1910 are a
challenging issue to locate in both high grade and with full red
mint luster still intact. Proof cents were sold as part of minor,
silver, and gold proof sets, but apparently they were not distributed
individually. The total number of proofs struck according to the
National Archives was 4,083 pieces, much higher than previously
believed. Nevertheless, only a handful exist today in full Red
because the Mint distributed the coins in sulfur-laden tissue paper
that quickly toned the surfaces. This bright, sparkling example has a
yellowish tinge to the red. Each side shows pronounced granularity,
indicative of an earlier striking. The details are intricately brought
up on each side, and there are no mentionable or noticeable contact
marks. Population: 20 in 66 Red, 3 finer (12/09). (#3308)
191 1911 PR65 Brown PCGS. A medley of tan, lime-green, crimson,
and sky-blue patina adorns both sides of this Gem, and a well
executed strike leaves crisp definition on the design elements. This
is truly a super-looking coin. Population: 27 in 65 Brown, 8 finer
(1/10).(#3309)
192 1912 PR65 Brown PCGS. Despite the generous mintage of 2,172
pieces, 1912 proof cents are scarce. The glossy surfaces of this Brown
Gem display crisply struck devices. Multicolored obverse toning
cedes to olive-brown on the reverse. Free of mentionable marks or
spots. Population: 35 in 65 Brown, 10 finer (1/10).(#3312)
193 1912 PR64 Red and Brown NGC. A needle-sharp matte proof
cent that has streaky cherry-red, ruby, forest-green, and sun-gold
toning. One thin mark noted above LIBERTY. Encased in a prior
generation holder. (#3313)
194 1913 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. Lustrous copper-gold
obverse surfaces cede to a bluish-gray, crimson, and copper-gold
reverse. Crisply struck, and revealing some light flecks over
each side. Population: 66 in 65 Red and Brown, 15 finer (1/10).

198 1956 PR67 Red Deep Cameo PCGS. Radiant devices and
legends exhibit considerable contrast with the glass fields. The
pumpkin-gold color is unmellowed, and the strike is unimprovable.
A couple of nearly microscopic flecks deny numismatic
perfection. Population: 35 in 67 Red Deep Cameo, 6 finer (1/10).
(#93377)
199 1958 PR68 Red Cameo PCGS. A flashy and razor-sharp orange-
gold Superb Gem with essentially pristine preservation. Obvious
cameo contrast sets the present piece apart from the usual 1950s
proof cent. Population: 22 in 68 Red Cameo, 0 finer (1/10).
(#83383)
Rare Close AM 1998-S Cent
PR69 Red Deep Cameo
200 1998-S Close AM PR69 Red Deep Cameo PCGS. Proof 1998-S
cents were supposed to have been struck from a different reverse
hub than 1998-dated business strikes. Proofs should have the FG
initials close to the Lincoln Memorial, and the AM in AMERICA
should be normally spaced. A handful of proofs were struck from a
business strike hub with a distant FG and a close AM. These are
coveted by Registry Set collectors, especially when the coin is as
close to perfect as the present specimen. Population: 39 in 69 Red
Deep Cameo, 0 finer (1/10). (#93529)
202 1866 MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Light tan patina resides on
the softly lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem two cent piece
and a well executed strike delivers strong definition to the design
elements. Devoid of significant marks or spots. Census: 8 in 66 Red
and Brown, 0 finer (1/10).(#3589)
PROOF TWO CENT PIECES
203 1866 PR64 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. A flashy and razor-
sharp near-Gem with lime and fire-red color. One small spot clings
to a vertical shield stripe. A meager 725 proofs were struck. In an
old prehologram holder. (#3631)
Splendid 1870 Two Cent, PR65 Red
204 1870 PR65 Red PCGS. Splendid copper-gold color displays hints
of light orange, and an exacting strike delivers crisp delineation to
the design elements. A few small spots are visible on the obverse.
From a mintage of 1,000 or so pieces. Population: 37 in 65 Red, 9
finer (12/09). (#3644)
205 1871 PR64 Red PCGS. A shimmering salmon-pink near-Gem.
Unabraded and crisply struck. Distributed minor carbon decides
the grade. TRUST is die doubled, diagnostic of this proof issue.
Housed in a first-generation holder. Population: 41 in 64 Red, 49
finer (1/10).(#3647)
PR66 Red and Brown 1872 Two Cent
206 1872 PR66 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. The year 1872 saw the
end of the business strike two cent piece, yet the proof coinage
for that year, as in the low-mintage years of 1870 and 1871, was
near the series peak. This well-preserved specimen, which boasts
considerable copper-orange in addition to blue-brown, is solidly
defined and immensely appealing. (#3649)

Attractive 1872 Two Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
207 1872 PR66 Red and Brown NGC. Bluish-purple and orange
colors compete for territory on the obverse of this Premium
Gem while the former palette dominates the reverse. The design
elements are exquisitely struck and reveal pleasing variance with
the reflective obverse fields. No mentionable contact marks or
spots are evident on the well preserved surfaces. Census: 35 in 66
Red and Brown, 4 finer (1/10). (#3649)
208 1872 PR65 Red NGC. Pale copper color with occasional
suggestions of peach or toning. This riveting Red Gem offers great
eye appeal for the issue. Census: 20 in 65 Red, 5 finer (12/09).
(#3650)
Bold 1873 Closed 3 Two Cent, PR64 Brown
209 1873 Closed 3 PR64 Brown PCGS. From a minuscule proof
mintage of 600 pieces, the 1873 two cent piece is a scarce coin in
all grades. Golden-tan and purple coloration runs over both sides
of this near-■Gem and an exacting strike emboldens the design
motifs. One tiny fleck in the lower middle shield is concealed
within the toning. Population: 34 in 64 Brown, 14 finer (12/09).
(#3651)
Closed 3 1873 Two Cent, PR65 Red and Brown
210 1873 Closed 3 PR65 Red and Brown NGC. The Closed 3
or “Original” examples of this prooTonly issue number just 600
pieces, and examples are prized regardless of grade. This Gem
proof exhibits considerable light copper-orange color through
each side, though dusky reddish-brown color appears at the right
obverse and blue-brown elements are present within the wreath.
(#3652)
THREE CENT SILVER
211 1851-0 MS64 PCGS. A delicate blend of lime-green, rose,
brown, and gray patination bathes the lustrous surfaces of this near-
Gem. Well struck except for the usual minor softness in the obverse
center. The only branch mint three cent silver piece. Population:
88 in 64, 61 finer (1/10).(#3665)
212 1853 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Occasional splashes of sky-blue visit
the golden-gray lustrous surfaces of this Gem, being a tad deeper in
hue on the obverse. Sharply struck except for weakness in the stars
along the reverse border. Nicely preserved and highly appealing.
(#3667)
213 1853 MS66 PCGS. CAC. An immensely lustrous Premium Gem
charmer with subtle gold-green peripheral toning and light blue-
violet centers. PCGS has certified just five finer pieces (12/09).
(#3667)
214 1862 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1862 is a relatively common
issue, although the typical example is circulated or lower Mint
State, while Gem survivors are scarce and desirable. This piece has
satiny luster with reflective fields beneath lovely rainbow toning.
(#3680)
Colorful MS67 1862 Three Cent Silver
215 1862 MS67 NGC. The 343,000 business strikes for the 1862 three
cent silver make it the last issue of its kind to be readily available
across most grades. “Most grades,” however, does not include MS67,
where this example is one of 33 pieces tied for numerically finest in
the combined certified population (1/10). Both sides are strongly
lustrous beneath blankets of multicolored toning, with azure, plum,
fire-orange, and rose-gold hues prominent. (#3680)
216 1871 MS65 PCGS. Semiprooflike fields highlight the well
struck motifs of this attractive Gem. Pastel multicolored toning
covers both sides, each of which is devoid of mentionable marks.
Population: 13 in 65, 26 finer (1/10).(#3692)
PROOF THREE CENT SILVER
217 1870 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. A fully brilliant near-Gem,
this three cent piece has fully and deeply mirrored fields that frame
the lustrous devices. Slight gold toning is evident on otherwise
untoned silver surfaces. Population: 9 in 64 Cameo, 8 finer (1/10).
(#83721)
218 1872 PR64 Cameo PCGS. Light silver-gray and white color
overall with dots of green-gold at parts of the margins. A pleasing
specimen of this penultimate three cent silver proof issue.
Population: 12 in 64 Cameo, 10 finer (12/09).(#83723)
THREE CENT NICKELS
219 1869 MS66 PCGS. This piece is highly lustrous with light gold-

(12/09).(#3735)
220 1872 MS66 NGC. CAC. Light gold and peach hues add color

221 1872 MS66 PCGS. Light gray surfaces imbued with traces of gold'
tan display nice luster and sharply struck design elements, including
all lines in the III denomination. There are no mentionable marks
to report. Population: 13 in 66, 0 finer (1/10).(#3738)
Elusive 1880 Three Cent Piece, MS67
222 1880 MS67 PCGS. A lustrous and razor-sharp Superb Gem
with pristine surfaces and light almond-gold toning. Just 21,000
pieces were struck, and high grade business strikes are much scarcer
than their proof counterparts. Encased in a green label holder.
Population: 32 in 67, 0 finer (1/10). (#3748)
223 1888 MS66 PCGS. A definite circulation strike with fields that
show no trace of reflectivity. Only 36,501 such pieces were struck
in 1888. Light golden toning is seen over each side. Fully struck.
Population: 50 in 66, 34 finer (1/10).(#3757)
PROOF THREE CENT NICKELS
224 1870 PR65 Cameo PCGS. Satiny and untoned with exemplary
preservation. The strike is precise save for minor blending at the
center of the first denominational column. Population: 24 in 65
Cameo, 7 finer (1/10).(#83766)
225 1871 PR66 NGC. Whispers of light gold color visit the well
preserved surfaces of this Premium Gem. The design features are
exquisitely brought up, including all lines in the III denomination,
and yield a degree of contrast with the mirrored fields at various
angles. Census: 29 in 66, 8 finer (1/10).(#3767)
226 1873 Closed 3 PR65 NGC. Strongly reflective and largely nickel-
white with occasional turquoise and green elements. A charming
and well-preserved Gem. (#3 769)
Sharp 1877 Three Cent Nickel, PR64 Cameo
Key to the Series
227 1877 PR64 Cameo NGC. The proof-only 1877 is the key to
the three cent nickel series. Faint violet and beige-gold color
shows up under magnification, mostly in the fields that highlight
the mildly frosted devices. A decisive strike sharpens the design
elements, including the lines in the III denomination. A handful of
minuscule marks denies Gem status. (#83773)
228 1878 PR67 Cameo NGC. An impressive, contrasting Superb
Gem with brilliant light gray surfaces. This example is a wonderful
representative of the second consecutive proof only issue after
1877. Census: 27 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (1/10).(#83774)
229 1881 PR67 NGC. CAC. This boldly defined proof has brilliant
light gray surfaces with exceptional mirrored fields. There is no
evidence of toning on either side. It is a near-Cameo example.
Census: 51 in 67, 8 finer (1/10).(#3777)
230 1885 PR67 NGC. Butter-gold and ice-blue toning drapes this
satiny and virtually carbon-free Superb Gem. Fully struck save
for slight sloping of the dentils toward the field. The 1885 has
a mintage of less than 5,000 pieces when proofs and business
strike production are combined. Census: 23 in 67, 0 finer (1/10).
(#3781)
231 1886 PR67 Cameo NGC. CAC. A sensational example of this
proof-only three cent nickel piece, tied for the finest certified
Cameo proof. Both sides are brilliant light gray with untoned
surfaces and bold design definition. Census: 14 in 67 Cameo, 0
finer (1/10).(#83782)
Superb Gem Proof 1887 Three Cent Nickel
232 1887 PR67 NGC. As the single finest nonoverdated proof 1887
three cent nickel certified by NGC (1/10), this Superb Gem
specimen is of obvious interest to the Registry collector. Any series
enthusiast, however, can just as easily appreciate the profound
mirrors and mild contrast. The minimally toned reverse shows
a handful of planchet flaws scattered around the III within the
wreath. (#3783)
Impressive 1888 Three Cent Nickel, PR67 Cameo
233 1888 PR67 Cameo PCGS. Struck in the penultimate year of
production for the three cent nickel, the 1888 is generally only
available in proof format. Proof production spiked in 1888 with
4,582 pieces minted, second highest in the series. The bright,
mirrorlike surfaces have just a hint of rose toning on each side;
there are no obvious contact marks. Population: 7 in 67 Cameo, 0
finer (12/09). (#83785)

SHIELD NICKELS
Attractive MS65 1871 Shield Nickel
234 1871 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Peach and violet shadings grace this
lustrous Shield nickel Gem, with the former color dominant on
the obverse and the latter prevailing on the reverse. Well-defined
overall with only slight shallowness on certain lines through
the stars on the reverse. Population: 28 in 65, 8 finer (1/10).
(#3798)
235 1876 MS65 NGC. Dazzling luster and light straw-gold toning
ensure the originality of this boldly struck Gem. A loupe reveals
occasional minute carbon. The date exhibits minor repunching.
Unabraded, and scarce in such formidable quality. Census: 34 in
65, 6 finer (12/09).(#3805)
239 1879/8 PR66 PCGS. CAC. The Guide Book overdate variety of
the proof 1879 Shield nickel commands a distinct premium over its
“normal” counterpart. This gleaming Premium Gem has charming
lavender-blue peripheral toning surrounding muted golden centers.
(#3834)
240 1879/8 PR67 PCGS. CAC. Breen-2514, “very scarce.” An
absolutely exquisite example of this popular overdate variety,
listed both in Breen and the Guide Book. Fully struck and virtually
pristine, with untoned, impeccably preserved surfaces. Population:
24 in 67, 7 finer (12/09).(#3834)
241 1882 PR66 PCGS. Light green-gold shadings vary over the
surfaces of this later Shield nickel proof. Excellent strike and
preservation combine for great eye appeal. PCGS has certified 38
finer specimens (1/10). (#383 7)
242 1883 PR66 PCGS. Nearly untoned surfaces display a degree of
field-motif contrast, especially on the obverse. An exacting strike
delivers virtually complete definition to the design features. Well
preserved with no significant marks or spots. Nice overall eye
appeal. (#3838)
243 1883 PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Nearly untoned surfaces exhibit
sharply struck devices and strong cameo contrast. A few light flecks
are unimportant. Population: 44 in 66 Cameo, 5 finer (12/09).
(#83838)
LIBERTY NICKELS
PROOF SHIELD NICKELS
236 1874 PR66 NGC. Hints of ice-blue and beige-gold patina reside
on the luminous, well cared-for surfaces of this Premium Gem
nickel. The design elements are sharply impressed. Census: 36 in
66, 4 finer (1/10).(#3828)
237 1876 PR66 PCGS. Violet, lilac, and champagne-gold obverse
coloration cedes to dominant champagne-gold on the reverse.
Sharply struck design elements stand out against the mirrored
fields. Devoid of mentionable contacts or spots. Population: 29 in
66, 1 finer (1/10).(#3830)
Dazzling PR66 Ultra Cameo 1876 Shield Nickel
238 1876 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. Proof Shield nickels from 1876
exist in fair quantities. As David Bowers (2006) indicates, however,
some searching is required to locate one with deep mirrors and
nice eye appeal, but the present coin is one such. Mirrored fields
highlight the crisply struck, frosty motifs, and the untoned surfaces
are virtually unimprovable. A highly appealing coin in all respects.
Census: 4 in 66 Ultra Cameo, 1 finer (1/10). (#93830)
244 1885—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. The light
gray surfaces of this key date representative have been dulled
somewhat by the cleaning and some faint obverse hairlines show
under magnification. A well defined piece with no significant
contact marks.(#3846)
Choice AU 1885 Liberty Nickel
245 1885 AU55 PCGS. CAC. A lightly circulated and luminous
example of this popular Liberty nickel key, well-defined for the
issue but with luster and striking characteristics of a business strike,
rather than an impaired proof. Peach and gold overtones grace
surfaces that are otherwise light nickel-gray. (#3846)
246 1886 MS63 PCGS. The 1886 is one of the keys to the Liberty
Head nickel series. This lustrous Select example displays soft
golden-gray patina and shows some localized strike weakness,
particularly the star centers, hair over the forehead, and elements
left of the bow knot. Some minor planchet roughness is noted.

Outstanding MS66 1886 Liberty Nickel
Tied for Finest Certified
247 1886 MS66 PCGS. Little has been written about the 1886 nickel
and its rarity, residing as it does in the shadow of the much better-
known 1885. Both are key issues, along with the 1912-S, and the
best reason we have for the rarity of the 1886 is taken from what we
know about the scarcity of the 1885 and extending the logic one
more year. In a 2003 Coin World article by Bob Julian, he states:
“Coinage continued at a heavy pace throughout the rest
of 1883 and well into 1885. However, in March 1885 the
Treasury suspended nickel coinage because large numbers
were flowing into the Subtreasuries and very few pieces
leaving. This was the same situation as had prevailed from
1876 through 1881. For this reason, the 1885 nickel is the
most difficult date of this series to acquire.”
Even though mintage picked up in 1886, it was not impressively
so in the context of the series. Only 3.3 million pieces were coined
in that year, versus the tiny 1.4 million in 1885. Few were saved,
and the 1886 has slowly acquired the status of a key date even
though it is chronologically closest to the #1 key in the series.
This piece is brilliant throughout, with amazingly bright, vibrant
mint luster on each side. The surfaces show only a few tiny marks,
visible with a strong magnifier. The striking details are full in all
areas except the left ear of corn. This piece is tied as finest certified
at both of the major services. Only five other pieces have been so
graded at PCGS, while NGC has certified four at the MS66 level
(1/10). (#3847)
248 1891 MS66 NGC. Although the left ear of corn in the wreath is
weak as usual, all other design aspects of this Premium Gem are
bold. The surfaces are attractive light gray with frosty luster. The
obverse has pale blue and gold patina while the reverse is brighter
gold. Census: 16 in 66, 1 finer (1/10). (#3852)
1912 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Lovely golden-bronze toning adorns
the intensely lustrous, virtually pristine surfaces of this Premium
Gem example. The striking definition is extremely bold, and only
the left ear of corn shows noticeable weakness. Population: 24 in
66,0 finer (12/09).(#3873)
250 1912-S XF40 PCGS. Dusky nickel-gray surface show arcs and
spots of deep olive. A lightly circulated, fundamentally pleasing
example of this mintmarked Liberty nickel key.(#3875)
Beautifully Patinated 1912-S Nickel, MS64
251 1912-S MS64 PCGS. An attractive blend of violet, ice-blue,
lavender, gold, and greenish-tan patina adorns the lustrous surfaces
of this near-Gem. Sharply struck design features complement the
beautiful coloration, with only the left corn ear showing minor
softness. Devoid of mentionable contact marks. One of three keys
to the always-popular Liberty nickel series with a mintage of only
238,000 pieces. (#3875)
PROOF LIBERTY NICKELS
252 1883 No Cents PR66 Cameo PCGS. A gleaming Cameo
Premium Gem proof of this one-year-only design type. Both sides
are minimally toned with easily appreciated contrast. Population:
55 in 66 Cameo, 11 finer (12/09).(#83878)
253 1884 PR66 Cameo NGC. FS-301, formerly FS-013.8. The 1 in
the date is widely repunched. This needle-sharp Premium Gem has
flashy fields and a frosty portrait. Each side has light to moderate
chestnut toning. Census: 27 in 66 Cameo, 18 finer (12/09).
(#83882)
Superb Cameo Proof 1888 Liberty Nickel
With Outstanding Contrast
254 1888 PR67 Cameo NGC. Only rarely do we see early Liberty
nickels with the contrast present on this piece. Most likely this
coin was one of the first struck from a new pair of dies, rather than
having been intentionally produced with this white-on-black
effect. Each side is bright and sparkling, just a shade from brilliant,
with a pale overlay of golden present. Fully struck and problem-
free. Census: 1 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (12/09). (#83886)
255 1892 PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. Inspection of NGC/PCGS population
figures indicates that 1892 proof nickels are readily available, even
in the better levels of preservation. Cameos, on the other hand, are
more difficult to locate, and Cameos with NGC’s Star are elusive.
Indeed, a mere three Cameos are given the Star designation, the
present Superb Gem coin tied with one other for the finest. The
design elements are exquisitely brought up and stand out against
the mirrored fields. Untoned surfaces are impeccably preserved.

(#3900)
Brilliant PR67 ★ 1907 Liberty Nickel
257 1907 PR67 ★ NGC. CAC. This brilliant Superb Gem has a
cameo reverse, and Liberty’s hair is also frosted. The glassy fields
appear immaculate, and the strike is complete aside from a few
grains on the left ear of corn. The lowest mintage regular proof
issue. Census: 3 in 67 ★, 0 finer (10/08). (#3905)
258 1908 PR66 Cameo PCGS. Fantastically mirrored with distinct
contrast despite a lack of thick frost, as is common for later proof
Liberty nickel issues. This Premium Gem has amazing visual appeal.
Population: 10 in 66 Cameo, 4 finer (1/10).(#83906)
BUFFALO NICKELS
259 1914 MS66 PCGS. The highly lustrous surfaces of this Premium
Gem display a wonderful blend of ice-blue, lavender, and gold-
beige patina. A well executed strike delivers strong delineation
to the design elements. A couple of trivial spots are noted in the
lower left obverse quadrant. (#3924)
260 1915-D MS65 PCGS. Gold toning imbued with hints of lavender
bathes the lustrous surfaces of this D-mint Gem. Sharply struck and
minimally abraded. PCGS has seen only 30 pieces finer. Housed in
a green label holder.(#3928)
Lustrous 1915-S Gem Nickel
261 1915-S MS65 PCGS. Soft rainbow toning graces the lustrous
surfaces of this Gem S-mint. The design elements are sharply
struck, including the braid, horn, and bison’s head. Well preserved
surfaces reveal no contact marks or spots worthy of note. Housed in
a green label holder. (#3929)
262 1917-D MS65 PCGS. A medley of yellow-gold, violet, ice-blue,
and lime-green bathes the obverse of this Gem D-mint, while the
same color palette is dominated by violet on the reverse. Above-
average detail with the horn particularly sharp. PCGS has graded
13 finer examples (12/09).(#3935)
263 1917-D MS65 NGC. Satiny gray surfaces have light gold accents
on this lovely Gem Buffalo nickel. The 1917-D is scarce at the
Gem level, and seldom encountered any finer. Census: 46 in 65, 7
finer (1/10).(#3935)
264 1918 MS67 PCGS. CAC. An exceptional 1918 nickel in every
respect. The issue is infamous for poor striking quality, yet this
example offers crisp design definition on the portrait, and only
slight softness is evident on the bison’s shoulder. The decidedly
above-average luster brings the dappled rose-violet and yellow
patina over each side to life. The last (and perhaps most obvious)
exceptional aspect of this Superb Gem is its impressive preservation.
Neither side shows any individually mentionable marks. All things
considered, a remarkable example for the high-end Buffalo nickel
enthusiast. Population: 7 in 67, 0 finer (12/09). (#3937)
265 1918-D MS64 PCGS. The lustrous light gray surfaces exhibit
hints of soft violet and gold. Generally well struck and revealing
just a few trivial marks. This is a delightful near-Gem. The ‘18-D
can be difficult to locate above MS64.(#3938)
266 191 8/7 -D Good 4 PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-016.5. Just enough
of the date is visible to positively identify the overdate feature on
this example. Although well worn, the surfaces are mostly smooth
and attractive with natural light gray patina. (#3939)
267 1918/7-D Good 6 NGC. FS-101, formerly FS-016.5. Though
extensively worn, this nickel shows a clear date, and a clear overdate
by extension. The lowest curve of the bison’s horn remains visible
on this medium-gray piece.(#3939)
268 1918-S MS63 ICG. Nickel-pink and pale orange shadings
dominate the eye appeal of this softly struck Select S-mint example.
Minimally abraded for the grade assigned.(#3940)
269 1920-D MS64 NGC. Solidly struck with above-average luster and
quality. The key to this near-Gem is the patina, deep peach and
magenta with lighter green-gold at the centers. (#3945)

270 1920-S MS63 NGC. Attractive shades of orange-gold, fuchsia,

is subtle, the strike is better than expected on this semikey coin,
and other distractions are virtually nil.(#3946)
275 1925-D MS64 NGC. A challenging coin in the Buffalo nickel
series, especially with a decent strike. This piece has varying
average to above average definition. The satiny surfaces have even
rose colored toning over each side.(#3955)
Beautifully Toned 1923 Nickel, MS67 ★
Elusive 1925-D Gem Nickel
271 1923 MS67 ★ NGC. Ex: Yankee Collection. While one of the
more frequently encountered P-mints from the 1920s, seldom is a
1923 found with such profound mint luster and toning. Each side
has ice-blue centers with golden toning around the margins. The
color is enlivened by bright, sparkling mint luster, and the strike is
full. Census: 2 in 67 ★, 0 finer (1/10). (#3949)
276 1925-D MS65 PCGS. The 1925-D is elusive in Mint State,
especially at the higher levels. Soft golden-beige patina rests on
the lustrous, well preserved surfaces of this Gem example. The
design elements are generally well struck save for the usually-seen
localized weakness. The horn, however, is sharp. Housed in a green
label holder. Population: 68 in 65, 3 finer (12/09). (#3955)
272 1924-D MS65 PCGS. CAC. This remarkable coin displays
thick, silky mint luster and a virtual absence of abrasions. Each
side has light rose-colored toning with an accent of lilac over the
bison on the reverse. The 1924-D is never found fully struck; the
present example shows slight softness just above the knot in the
Indian’s braid, and the head and tail of the bison are incompletely
brought up. Nevertheless, this is a coin for the collector who
is realistic enough to know that a fully struck Gem will not be
available, making this a wonderful acquisition for an advanced set.
(#3952)
277 1925-S MS64 PCGS. The lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem
yield light gold patina. The design features are typically struck,
revealing incompleteness on the letters in LIBERTY and CENTS,
the mintmark, and portions of the motif on both sides. Generally
well preserved, and difficult to locate any finer. (#3956)
278 1926-D MS64 PCGS. As is the case with all Denver Mint issues
from its decade, the 1926-D is scarce in all grades, and desirable in
Mint State. This undisturbed Choice example has medium autumn-
gold toning and a decidedly above average strike. (#3958)
Choice AU 1926-S Nickel
273 1924-S MS64 PCGS. This low-mintage issue (1.437 million
pieces) is scarce in all grades. The present near-Gem offering shows
typical striking characteristics, in that portions of the Indian’s hair
and the bison’s head are weak. The date, LIBERTY, horn, and
mintmark are crisp, however. Champagne-gold lustrous surfaces
display violet and lavender accents. A few minute marks preclude
Gem status. (#3953)
274 1925-D MS64 PCGS. This medium-gold and reddish-violet
D-mint example reveals slightly better detail than is average for the
issue, especially on the reverse. No significant abrasions or spots
interrupt the generally well preserved surfaces. (#3955)
280 1926-S AU55 PCGS. Soft luster enlivens the surfaces, which offer
luminous peach and orange-rose hues over a base of sage. Only
minor rub is noted on the highest design elements, and the well-
defined devices are minimally abraded. Great eye appeal for the
grade and the issue of fewer than a million pieces. (#3959)
Wonderful, High-End 1924-D Nickel, MS65
Lustrous 1925-S Five Cent, MS64
Low Mintage 1924-S Nickel, MS64
279
1926-S XF45 PCGS. Soft violet-gray color with hints of light
gold resides on the semigloss surfaces of this Choice XF coin. Well
defined for the issue, with most of the bison’s horn present, though
the tip is a tad short of complete. There are no marks worthy of
note on this pleasing better-date representative with a mintage less
than 1 million pieces.(#3959)

Attractively Toned MS64
1926-S Buffalo Nickel
281 1926-S MS64 NGC. The 1926-S nickel had a mintage of 970,000
pieces. And yet it is not rare or valuable in low grades, indicating
that the issue spent considerable time in circulation before being
pulled out by collectors. The price increases from one grade to
the next are dizzying. Low grade circulated coins are affordable by
collectors of any means, but examples in mint condition are only
available to those who can shell out multiple thousands of dollars.
This is an especially pleasing, problem-free specimen. The devices
are strongly struck, and the overall appearance is well-balanced
from side to side. Attractive rose and lilac toning is interspersed
over each side, and there are no obvious or detracting marks.
(#3959)
282 1927-S MS63 PCGS. This better date Buffalo nickel displays soft
multicolored toning and is somewhat better struck than ordinarily
seen, though the hair on the bison’s head is weak. The most potent
luster resides in the areas around and the interstices of the motifs.
Housed in a first generation holder. (#3962)
Near-Gem 1927-S Five Cent
283 1927-S MS64 PCGS. Softly struck with quicksilver luster, as
this San Francisco issue is usually seen, yet the overall eye appeal
is more impressive than those elements might suggest. Key to
its attractiveness is a generous portion of liquid-gold color that
covers most of the otherwise nickel-gray surfaces. Housed in a first-
generation holder. PCGS has graded only 20 coins finer (1/10).
(#3962)
284 1928-S MS64 NGC. CAC. Splashes of violet, ice-blue, gold, and
light green patina visit the lustrous surfaces of this attractive near-
Gem. Generally well struck and devoid of significant marks. Nice
overall eye appeal. (#3965)
Colorful MS67 1934 Nickel
285 1934 MS67 NGC. Rich and dynamic gold and orange patina
embraces much of each side of this shining Superb Gem. The central
obverse and reverse also show elements of sage toning. Exquisitely
preserved for this high-mintage but little-saved Depression-era
issue. Census: 13 in 67, 0 finer (1/10). (#3972)
Splendid, Thickly Lustrous 1935-S Nickel, MS67
286 1935-S MS67 NGC. This appealing Superb Gem is essentially
blemish-free, as expected for the assigned grade. Pretty golden
patina on the Indian’s hair complements tinges of ice-blue
appearing on the face. The piece has a sharp strike, if a trifle short
of full, and similar coloration appears on the reverse. Among the
finest few dozen certified at either service (1/10). (#3976)
287 1937-D Three-Legged XF45 PCGS. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2.
The bison’s hip and hair display moderate wear, but the caramel-gold
and gunmetal surfaces retain glimpses of luster. A lightly abraded
example of this famous lapped die mint error.(#3982)

288 1937-D Three-Legged XF45 AN ACS. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2.
A Choice XF piece with orange and olive toning where luster
remains. Devoid of relevant marks, and an impressive example of
this well known Guide Book variety.
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2006), lot 409, which realized
$977.50.(#3982)
289 1937-D Three-Legged AU55 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2.
A briefly circulated gold-gray example of this ever-popular later
Buffalo nickel variety. Just a touch of rub is present on the highest
points of the faintly abraded surfaces. (#3982)
290 1937-D Three-Legged AU58 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2.
Dusky peach and pink-gray hues grace this Three-Legged nickel.
Just a touch of friction affects the high points, and the coin is
minimally abraded overall.(#3982)
Appealing 1937-D Three-Legged Select Nickel
291 1937-D Three-Legged MS63 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2.
A melange of gold, lavender, aqua-blue, mint-green, and gray
patination resides on the lustrous surfaces of this popular Three-
Legged representative. Generally well struck and revealing just a
few minor reverse marks. Nice overall eye appeal for the Select
grade level. (#3982)
Superlative 1938-D Buffalo, MS68
292 1938-D MS68 NGC. Collectors and the general public knew
that the Buffalo nickel design would end its run in 1938, and they
hoarded many examples of the Denver coins of that year. In fact,
despite a comparatively small mintage of just over 7 million pieces,
the 1938-D is the definitive type coin for its series. This applies
even in the lofty grade of MS68, where NGC and PCGS have
certified a combined 23 pieces (6/09). The one offered here has
impeccable surfaces that shine beneath deep golden-orange patina.
The detail is crisp, and the overall effect is pleasing. An amazing
example that would make a statement in any type or date set.
Census: 15 in 68, 0 finer (1/10). (#3984)
293 1938-D/S MS67 NGC. FS-511, formerly FS-20.5. OMM-1. There
are several overmintmarked dies, but this is the most significant
among them, since the S mintmark can be seen both above and
within the D mintmark, which is crisply repunched at the base.
Beautifully toned in rose-gold, powder-blue, and lemon-gold.
Census: 86 in 67, 5 finer (12/09).(#3985)
Magnificent MS68 1938-D/S Nickel
294 1938-D/S MS68 NGC. FS-511, formerly FS-20.5. OMM-1.
While San Francisco struck no 1938-dated Buffalo nickels, Denver
did, and several S-mint reverse dies had their mintmarks punched-
over for use in Colorado. This is a stunning MS68 representative
of the most prominent of the overmintmarks. Light yellow-green
outer toning gives way to light blue and violet colors through the
centers. Amazingly lustrous and a visual delight. Census: 4 in 68, 0
finer (1/10). (#3985)
PROOF BUFFALO NICKELS
295 1914 PR66 PCGS. Soft greenish-gold patina on the obverse cedes
to violet and light nickel-gray on the reverse. Impeccably preserved
surfaces exhibit sharply struck motifs. Great quality. PCGS has
graded just 79 finer specimens (12/09).(#3991)
296 1936 Type One—Satin Finish PR67 NGC. Strong nickel-gray
satin luster offers occasional suggestions of gold or iridescence. A
sharp Superb Gem proof with noteworthy visual appeal. NGC has
certified 22 numerically finer Satin proofs (12/09).(#3994)
297 1936 Type Two—Brilliant Finish PR64 NGC. Iridescent gold,
champagne, and violet patina bathes the luminous surfaces of this
near-Gem proof, augmented by speckles of deeper green, orange,
and charcoal. Exquisitely struck and revealing no significant marks.
(#3995)
298 1937—Environmental Damage—NGC—Proof. A layer
of champagne-gold patina resides on the obverse of this proof,
while the reverse displays a veneer of champagne and violet-
blue coloration. Tiny black carbon flecks are interspersed with
minuscule toning spots on both sides. Really a decent looking piece
despite the NGC disclaimer. (#3996)
299 1937 PR66 ★ NGC. CAC. The bright surfaces display hints of
field-motif contrast at most angles, and possess a veneer of soft
violet and gold color. Exquisitely struck and devoid of mentionable
marks or spots. NGC’s coveted Star and the CAC green label attest
to the outstanding eye appeal. (#3996)
300 1937 PR66 NGC. Gorgeous toning with progressions from gold-
orange through violet and blue patina. Excellent reflectivity and
dynamic eye appeal. (#3996)
301 1937 PR67 PCGS. CAC. The quicksilver surfaces of this splendid
Superb Gem proof are essentially devoid of color other than the
expected silver-gray, but that only serves to emphasize its many
charms. The strike is full as expected, and essential contact is
absent. The reverse is rotated a few degrees counterclockwise
with respect to the obverse. Difficult to improve upon; PCGS has
certified only 11 pieces finer (1/10).(#3996)

Superb 1940-S Nickel, MS67 Full Steps
312 1940-S MS67 Full Steps PCGS. Ex: Compradore Collection.

313 1941 MS67 Full Steps PCGS. This Superb Gem specimen is

Important MS65 1942-D/D Nickel
‘D Over Fiorizontal D* Variety
315 1942-D D Over Horizontal D MS65 PCGS. FS-501, previously
FS-027. Frosty on the obverse with delicate pastel-blue and
champagne patina. The detail is strong, particularly on the steps
(which are a few light marks away from a Full Steps designation),
though die lapping is evident at Jefferson’s shoulder. The all-
important overmintmark is plain under magnification, and the
portrait is clean, though a minor graze affects the left-central pillar
of Monticello. One of just five Gems certified by PCGS, with none
finer (1/10). (#4015)

317 1943-P Doubled Die Obverse MS66 PCGS. FS-106, formerly
FS-029. This boldly doubled obverse has made its way into the

white with faint blue accents and a handful of diagonal streaks on
the obverse.(#4174)
318 1943-P Doubled Die MS65 Full Steps PCGS. FS-106, formerly
FS-029. A noteworthy Full Steps Gem example of this Guide
Book classic. Brightly lustrous surfaces show hints of gold.
(#84174)
319 1943-P Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Ex:
Compradore Collection. FS-106, formerly FS-029. Jefferson’s eye
and all obverse legends are clearly die doubled. Brilliant silver-gray
surfaces are accented by subtle champagne toning. Better than five
full steps are visible; this piece nearly qualifies as a six-step example.
Population: 13 in 66 Full Steps, 2 finer (1/10).(#84174)
Prominent 1943/2-P Nickel, MS66 Full Steps
320 1943/2-P MS66 Full Steps PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-028. This
is a brilliant Premium Gem example of the popular overdate variety
with light gold toning over silvery surfaces. The overdate feature
(i.e. the digit 2 beneath the 3) is extremely prominent, even with
just a five-power magnifier. Population: 22 in 66 Full Steps, 2 finer
(1/10). (#84019)
321 1944-S MS67 Full Steps PCGS. Soft champagne coloration
adorns the lustrous surfaces of this Superb Gem war nickel.
Exquisitely struck and preserved. Population: 27 in 67 Full Steps, 0

322 1945-P Tripled Die Reverse MS66 PCGS. FS-804, formerly
FS-030.5. This Tripled Die Reverse variety is also a notable
repunched mintmark, according to the Cherrypickers’ Guide. This
Premium Gem offers frosty silver-white color with a touch of
peach.
323 1945-P Minor Doubled Die Reverse MS66 PCGS. FS-803,
formerly FS-030.3. Fantastically lustrous with a touch of gold. This

324 1945-S MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Champagne-gold and ice-blue
coloration resides on the highly lustrous surfaces of this sharply
struck Premium Gem. There are no serious marks or spots to report.
Population: 83 in 66 Full Steps, 4 finer (1/10).(#84027)

Impressive 1946-D/D Nickel, FS-501, MS66
326 1946-D D Over Horizontal D MS66 PCGS. FS-501, previously
FS-031. This piece represents excellent value in this rare variant.
The only difference between this and the Full Steps MS66 coin
also in this auction is slight, almost imperceptible softness on the
lowest steps of Monticello. The inverted mintmark is plain, and
the thickly lustrous surfaces are covered with lilac and rose toning.
A splendid, high grade example. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (1/10).
(#38507)
Rarely Seen 1946-D/D Nickel, FS-501
MS66 Full Steps
327 1946-D D Over Horizontal D MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Ex:
Compradore Collection. FS-501, previously FS-031. The mintmark
is dramatically repunched, with the first punch inverted. This
valuable repunched mintmark is considered the second rarest of the
original Jefferson “Top 10” in Mint State, second only to the 1942-
D Over Horizontal D. This is only the second Full Steps example
we have handled, and it is the finest. The mint luster on this piece
is thick and frosted, more suggestive of a San Francisco product
than a Denver piece, in our opinion. The surfaces are lightly
toned with a pale golden overlay of patina on each side. The only
mentionable abrasions are a couple of shallow marks on Jefferson’s
coat. Population: 13 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10).
1946-D Over Inverted D Nickel, MS66 Full Steps
328 1946-D D Over Horizontal D MS66 Full Steps PCGS. FS-501,
formerly FS-031. This mispunched mintmark is actually a D Over
Inverted D. It was discovered by Adolf Weiss, founder of the PAK
Full Step Nickel Club. It is a surprisingly rare coin, especially in
Uncirculated grades. More, of course, could be found as original
rolls are broken up in the future. Five step coins, such as this one,
have a survival rate of 1:20. This is a pleasing coin with thick mint
luster and a light overlay of lilac-golden toning. Population: 13 in
66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10). (#894029)

Pleasing MS66 Full Steps 1948 Nickel
329 1948 MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Fantastically lustrous with elements
of gold and peach toning over otherwise nickel-white surfaces. The
patina is more prominent on the smooth reverse, over and above
the sharply struck image of Monticello. Challenging so fine with
Full Steps: PCGS has certified only 11 such coins at the MS66
level and none finer (1/10). (#84034)
330 1949 MS65 Full Steps PCGS. Ex: Compradore Collection.
Despite a large mintage, few high quality 1949 nickels exist, as
there were few collectors who saved rolls at the time of issue. This
piece has incredible light gold toning over satiny luster, with full
underlying mint brilliance. Population: 17 in 65 Full Steps, 0 finer
(1/10).(#84037)
331 1949-S MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Variegated champagne-gold and
ice-blue patination rides over the lustrous surfaces of this sharply

detract from the coin’s nice overall eye appeal. Population: 14 in 66
Full Steps, 1 finer (12/09).(#84040)
332 1951 MS66 Full Steps PCGS. An impeccable, satiny example
accented in golden patina. All design motifs are sharply defined.
Population: 13 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10).(#84043)
333 1951-S MS66 Full Steps PCGS. The design elements are fully
brought up and the steps of Monticello are especially crisp. Satiny
and well preserved; the surfaces show few marks and variegated
pastel coloration on both sides. Population: 19 in 66 Full Steps, 0
finer (1/10). (#84045)
Scarce 1953 Nickel, MS65 Full Steps
334 1953 MS65 Full Steps PCGS. According to Bernard Nagengast
(2002), “one of the rarest P mints in full strike condition ... .” This
example is sharply struck, with bright luster, rich olive-gold toning,
and just a few wispy marks on Jefferson’s jaw and cheekbone that
are difficult to discern without magnification. Population: 7 in 65
Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10). (#84049)
335 1953-D MS67 PCGS. An extraordinary Superb Gem with frosty
luster beneath rainbow iridescence. The strike is a trifle weak as
usual, with only partial step detail remaining. (#4050)
336 1953-S MS64 Full Steps PCGS. According to Bernard Nagengast,
the appearance frequency of the Five Step variety is only 1 in 5,000;
six steps are unverified. We suspect this ratio might be slightly
conservative. A fully brilliant specimen; only a few inconsequential
contact marks limit the grade. A “must-see” coin for the Jefferson
nickel specialist. Population: 15 in 64 Full Steps, 2 finer (1/10).
(#84051)
Elusive 1956-D Nickel, MS66 Full Steps
337 1956-D MS66 Full Steps PCGS. The 1956-D is a challenging
coin to locate in high grade and with Full Steps. Nagengast (2002)
estimates that only one coin in 150 is found fully struck. This is
a lovely example. The satiny surfaces display variegated rose and
lilac toning on each side, and the fields are bright from obvious die
polishing, the evidence of which can be seen with magnification.
Population: 6 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10). (#84060)
Interesting 1957 Nickel, MS66 Full Steps
338 1957 MS66 Full Steps PCGS. While the 1957 nickel is available
as singles and even in rolls, it is a noteworthy strike rarity. Probably
no more than one out of 10 Uncirculated pieces shows Full Steps.
This is such a coin, visually impressive with thick mint luster
radiating beneath even golden toning that covers each side. The
reverse die shows significant signs of deterioration and heavy
metal flow on the reverse, yet that side is fully struck. The obverse
has die striae in the fields. An interesting coin for the specialist.
Population: 9 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10). (#84061)
339 1957-D MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Variegated sky-blue, lavender,

Magnificent 1958-D Nickel, MS67 Full Steps
340 1958-D MS67 Full Steps PCGS. Fully brilliant, without a trace
of color to distract from the original, unimpeded magnificence of
this stunning Superb Gem specimen. Blazing luster spills from both
the immaculate, flashy silk-textured fields and the snow-white
glow of the delicately frosted devices. Fully struck with razor-sharp
detailed devices and bold legends, and the ever important steps of
Monticello are deeply impressed and boldly defined. Population: 7

Important 1959-D Jefferson, MS66 Full Steps
342 1959-D MS66 Full Steps PCGS. The fields of this boldly defined
Jefferson nickel are brilliant and satiny, with a hint of reflectivity
adding to its eye appeal. Faint champagne toning enhances its
overall appearance. Like most Full Steps Jefferson nickels of the
last half century, this is an extremely rare issue in high grade.
Collectors new to the field will need to become accustomed to
the rarity of such coins, while those who have specialized in the
current nickel series find the rarity unsurprising. Population: 6 in
66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10). (#84066)
Gem Full Steps 1960 Nickel
343 1960 MS65 Full Steps PCGS. Frosty nickel-white luster tending
to blue dominates the centers, while the margins show occasional
glints of golden color. A sharply impressed piece, not only at the
steps but also on many of the subtler features of the Jefferson
portrait and Monticello. Population: 7 in 65 Full Steps, 1 finer
(1/10). (#84067)
1961 Nickel, MS65 Full Steps
A Rare Find With Full Steps
344 1961 MS65 Full Steps PCGS. Ex: Compradore Collection. Deep
gold and iridescent toning appears over satiny surfaces. Typical for
the issue is a poor strike and rough surfaces, although the present
piece is a desirable exception. Bowers estimates that only one coin
out of 150 exists with Full Steps. Population: 10 in 65 Full Steps, 0
finer (1/10). (#84069)
Rarely Seen 1963-D Nickel, MS65 Full Steps
345 1963-D MS65 Full Steps PCGS. Ex: Compradore Collection. A
reflective Gem with exceptional eye appeal and bold design types.
Both sides have light gold toning with slightly reflective fields.
Here is another Full Steps example that is rarely seen, with a ratio
of 1 to 3,000, according to Bowers. Population: 2 in 65 Full Steps, 0
finer (1/10). (#84074)
Elusive 1964 Jefferson, MS66 Full Steps
346 1964 MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Ex: Compradore Collection. The
Philadelphia Mint struck more than 1 billion nickels in 1964, and
about 1 of every 30 examples (or 30 million) had full steps. While
such a quantity seems sufficient, the connoisseur will find the
search for an example as nice as this piece to be a difficult road.
Fully lustrous with satin surfaces and pale gold toning. Population:
5 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10). (#84075)
1968-S Nickel With Full Steps, MS66
347 1968-S MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Although 1968-S nickels are
sometimes available by the roll in Mint State, they invariably
feature little or no definition on the all-important steps. The
present Premium Gem is a noteworthy exception. Mauve and
apricot patina embraces this satiny and nearly undisturbed example.
Population: 3 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (1/10). (#84081)
348 1974 MS66 Full Steps PCGS. Ex: Compradore Collection.
Pastel blue, violet, gold, and beige patina covers lustrous surfaces.
The design elements are sharply impressed, culminating in Full
Steps. A couple of minute marks are noted on Jefferson’s cheek
and Monticello. Population: 12 in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (12/09).
(#84092)
349 1976 MS67 Full Steps PCGS. Pretty ice-blue and apricot-rose
toning blankets each side. The nearly mark-free surfaces are sharply
defined throughout. This coin is tied with one other PCGS ‘76
nickel for the finest certified (12/09).(#84096)

SMS JEFFERSON NICKEL
353 1994-P SMS MS70 Full Steps PCGS. The special finish matte
Jefferson nickel was originally available only in the 1993 Jefferson

reveal just the barest hint of tan-gold color. Population: 11 in 70

PROOF JEFFERSON NICKELS
Singular 1939 Reverse of 1940 Nickel
FS-901, PR66 Cameo PCGS
354 1939 Reverse of 1940 PR66 Cameo PCGS. FS-901, formerly
FS-023. The 1940 Reverse is characterized by crisp, straight steps
to Monticello, while the 1938 Reverse has the steps wavy. Most
1939 proof Jefferson nickels have the 1938 Reverse, with less than
100 of the 1940 Reverse certified by PCGS. The Premium Gem
Cameo proof offered here is the only 1939 Jefferson nickel that
PCGS has certified as a Cameo proof. NGC has certified three
pieces as Cameo proof, meaning that both services combined can
only provide four examples to collectors. The current auction
record for an example of this variety is $4,888, and we fully expect
that the current offering will exceed that price level. Fully brilliant
and pristine proof surfaces exhibit excellent contrast, with no
evidence of toning on either side. Population: 1 in 66 Cameo, none
finer (1/10). (#94176)
Flashy, Deeply Mirrored 1939 Nickel
Rare Reverse of 1940, PR67
355 1939 Reverse of 1940 PR67 PCGS. FS-901, formerly FS-023. The
reflective fields highlight the mildly frosted devices, particularly on
the reverse. The seemingly brilliant surfaces are almost devoid of
any hint of toning, the only exception is a tiny speck of golden
color between Jefferson’s chin and the D in GOD. A rare variety as
a proof with the “straight steps” Reverse of 1940. Population: 16 in
67,0 finer (1/10). (#94176)
Finest Certified 1942 Type One Nickel
PR66 Cameo
356 1942 Type One PR66 Cameo PCGS. Extremely rare, as are all
1936-1942 proofs with any degree of contrast. This is a boldly
struck and nearly untoned Type One Gem with good cameo
contrast. There is just the slightest hint of color on each side with
good reflectivity in the fields. Jefferson’s jaw has a small planchet
flaw, as made, and the dies are slightly rotated counterclockwise.
The finest of only two pieces certified as Cameo by PCGS. None
have been certified as Deep Cameo. Population: 1 in 66 Cameo, 0
finer (1/10). (#84179)
357 1951 PR68 Cameo PCGS. A veneer of uniform champagne
patina rides over the virtually pristine surfaces of this wonderful
five cent piece. The design elements are exquisitely impressed.
Population: 4 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (1/10). (#84183)
Deep Cameo 1952 Nickel, PR67
One of the Keys to the Deep Cameo Series
358 1952 PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. The 1952 is one of the keys
to the series with strong cameo contrast. To quote Rick Tomaska
(1991), “Well-preserved examples are so scarce with ultra-heavy
contrasted devices that few cameo dealers or collectors have ever
even seen one.” This piece shows extraordinarily deep mirrors on
each side with starkly contrasted devices. Each side has a thin
layer of golden-rose toning, and the surfaces are essentially perfect.
Population: 10 in 67 Deep Cameo, 1 finer (1/10). (#94184)

MERCURY DIMES
Starkly Contrasted 1954 Nickel, PR68 Deep Cameo
359 1954 PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. A hint of ice-blue near the rims
offsets the practically black-and-white brilliance of this brightly
mirrored specimen. The ivory devices have rich, delightful frost
and contrast markedly against the illimitable depth of reflectivity
in the fields. Population: 5 in 68 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (1/10).
(#94186)
360 1955 PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. Magnificent icy-white devices
rise above the darkly mirrored fields. A dab of gray appears inside
the C in AMERICA, but otherwise this is a perfect example of
the proof issue. Population: 22 in 68 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (1/10).
(#94187)
361 1959 PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. Light gold color visits this razor-
sharp Superb Gem. The devices are radiant and frosty, and the
surfaces appear pristine. Traces of retained laminations, as made,
are noted near FIVE CENTS. Although more than 1 million proofs
were struck, few among these pieces displayed significant white on
black contrast. Generally, only the initial pieces struck from freshly
installed dies exhibited this quality. Population: 10 in 68 Deep
Cameo, 1 finer (1/10).(#94191)
362 1961 PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. A veneer of barely discernible
yellow-gold patina runs over both sides of this immaculately
preserved piece, each of which yields stunning field-motif contrast
and an excellent strike. Superb eye appeal throughout. Population:
12 in 69 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (1/10).(#94193)
PR69 Cameo 1971 No S Nickel
363 1971 No S PR69 Cameo PCGS. While the proof Roosevelt
dime series has a number of No S varieties, only one such variety
is recognized for the larger Jefferson nickel. This high-end No S
proof from 1971 has outstanding contrast and virtually flawless
surfaces. The mirrors in particular are remarkable. Population: 8 in
69 Cameo, 0 finer (1/10). (#84204)
364 1979-S Type Two PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. Type Two is the
clear S mintmark, introduced during the year to replace a worn
punch. Both sides of this amazing pristine Deep Cameo display
stone-white and black contrast. Population: 25 in 70 Deep Cameo
(1/10).(#94213)
Key-Date 1916-D Dime, MS65 Full Bands
366 1916-D MS65 Full Bands NGC. The key-date 1916-D Mercury
dime had a mintage of only 264,000 coins, which was in stark
contrast to the large number of ten cent pieces made at the
Philadelphia and San Francisco mints in 1916 (22.1 million and
10.4 million pieces, respectively). The entire 1916-D dime issue,
according to David Lange (2005), was released in November 1916.
He writes that the coinage of dimes was then halted at Denver so
that the presses could be redirected to produce a large order for
quarters the Treasury Department had placed.
The radiantly lustrous surface of this Gem are lightly toned
with splashes of champagne-gold, sky-blue, and gray-violet patina.
An impressive strike leaves sharp detail on the design features,
culminating in full central bands. A few minuscule reverse marks
do not subtract from the coin’s great overall appeal. Census: 24 in
65 Full Bands, 7 finer (12/09). (#4907)
365 1990-S Doubled Die Obverse PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. DDO-
001. IN GOD WE TRUST is nicely die doubled in a clockwise
direction. The variety is currently unlisted in Cherry pickers, but
that oversight will eventually be corrected. This flawless specimen
is razor-sharp and has delicate honey-gold toning near the
borders.

Delicately Patinated 1917 Dime, MS67
The Single Finest Certified Example
367 1917 MS67 NGC. The 1917 dime mintage exceeded 55 million
pieces, making the issue common in all grades through MS65.
The present Superb Gem displays dappled gold-tan and greenish-
gold patina resting on lustrous surfaces. The design elements are
well struck and each side reveals just a few minuscule marks. This
piece is the single finest certified by either NGC or PCGS (1/10).
(#4910)
Fantastic MS67 Full Bands 1917 Dime
368 1917 MS67 Full Bands PCGS. Though over 55 million dimes
were struck at Philadelphia in 1917, the issue was little-saved,
and today, sharply defined Superb Gems are in short supply.
This impressively lustrous example has charming peach-to-gold
toning over most of each side, with glints of silver-white at parts
of the margins. Population: 14 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (1/10).
(#4911)
369 1917-D MS64 Full Bands NGC. Decisively struck with above-
average luster. Pale silver centers yield to green-gold and orange
peripheral hues that are strongest at the lower reverse. Census: 68
in 64 Full Bands, 16 finer (12/09).(#4913)
370 1917-S MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Scheppman Collection.
A hint of gold toning visits this lustrous and splendidly preserved
Premium Gem. The strike is precise, and the eye appeal is
unassailable. Population: 63 in 66 Full Bands, 10 finer (12/09).
(#4915)
371 1918-D MS63 Full Bands PCGS. Soft gold and violet patina
rests on the lustrous surfaces of this exquisitely struck D-mint
dime. Minor marks, more so on the reverse, preclude a finer grade.
(#4919)
Semikey 1919-D Dime, MS64 Full Bands
372 1919-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. Boldly struck with a
pair of peripheral die cracks noted on the obverse, at 11:30 and 3
o’clock. Lovely apricot-gray toning adorns both sides, and a mixture
of additional colors decorates the lower reverse. A pleasing, high-
end example for the grade. Population: 67 in 64 Full Bands, 17
finer (1/10). (#4925)
373 1919-S MS62 Full Bands PCGS. Attractive forest-green and
yellow-tan color graces the obverse, while the reverse shows mostly
even golden color. Though a number of small ticks account for the
grade, no single mark warrants individual mention. (#4927)
374 1920 MS67 Full Bands NGC. An array of medium intensity
colors adorns the highly lustrous surfaces of this charming Superb
Gem. A decisive strike transcends the Full Bands to include
crispness on the remaining design elements. A couple of minuscule
reverse marks are in concert with the designated grade. Census: 14
in 67 Full Bands, 2 finer (1/10). (#4929)
375 1921-D AU50 PCGS. Lightly toned and briefly circulated with
attractive surfaces and only a hint of incompleteness of strike at the
borders. The 1921-D has one of the lowest mintages of the series,
since the Denver Mint was occupied with large-scale silver dollar
production. Encased in a green label holder. (#4936)
Colorful 1925 Dime, MS66 Full Bands
376 1925 MS66 Full Bands PCGS. This well-preserved 1925 dime has
a surprisingly bold strike, which lends the coin added importance.
Strongly lustrous surfaces are silver-white beneath areas of canary-
gold, mustard, and peach patina. Smooth and attractive. PCGS
has graded a mere 25 finer Full Bands representatives (12/09).

Lovely MS66 Full Bands 1925 Dime
377 1925 MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Light silver and powder-blue
colors give way to streaky green-gold at the right sides of both the
obverse and reverse. A shining Premium Gem with impressive
detail, including full separation on the bands across the fasces.
Challenging with Full Bands despite a mintage of over 25 million
pieces. (#4949)
1925 Premium Gem Dime With Full Bands
378 1925 MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Razor-sharp striking definition
across the bands on the reverse. This Premium Gem offers excellent
eye appeal. Baby-blue toning shows thin lines of reddish-gold color
at parts of the obverse margins, and elements of canary gold are
present near the centers. Population: 47 in 66 Full Bands, 25 finer
(12/09). (#4949)
Bold 1925 Dime, MS67 Full Bands
379 1925 MS67 Full Bands PCGS. An extraordinarily bold strike
defines the eye appeal of this shining Superb Gem. Light blue
toning graces much of the centers, while the margins show small
streaks of gold and tan color. Highly challenging any finer with
Full Bands; PCGS has certified just three such coins (12/09).
(#4949)
MS67 Full Bands 1925 Dime
380 1925 MS67 Full Bands PCGS. A sharp Superb Gem example
of this challenging issue, one Lange notes as “an exception” to
the norm of 1920s Mercury dimes having strong central detail.
This delightful coin, however, shows sharp definition throughout.
Lustrous surfaces show a pale blue cast overall with streaks of violet
and tan color at the upper obverse and lower reverse. Population:
22 in 67 Full Bands, 3 finer (12/09). (#4949)
Superb Gem Full Bands 1925 Dime
381 1925 MS67 Full Bands PCGS. Pale blue glints grace the outer
zones of this crisply struck Superb Gem, while the centers show
a subtle aura of gold, which is deeper on the reverse. Attractively
lustrous with a few streaks of peripheral tan and russet along the
bottom of the reverse and the top of the obverse. Population: 22 in

Astounding MS68 Full Bands 1925 Dime
Gem Full Bands 1927-D Dime
382 1925 MS68 Full Bands PCGS. For the collector who missed the
opportunity to own the MS68 Full Bands 1925 dime in Heritage’s
January 2010 FUN Auction, consider the offering of this example
a second chance. The 1925 is among the most challenging
Philadelphia dates of the decade with Full Bands, due to general
striking softness that seems almost anachronistic. This coin, by
contrast, is delightfully sharp with satiny surfaces, generally pale
silver-gray with subtle blue and gold hues. A few streaks of russet
appear at the left reverse margin. Population: 3 in 68 Full Bands, 0
finer (12/09). (#4949)
383 1925-S MS65 NGC. A frosty S-mint with light silver-gray surfaces
that show occasional suggestions of blue. Well struck overall with
excellent quality. Census: 8 in 65, 6 finer (12/09).(#4952)
385 1927-D MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Light gold and peach peripheral
tints add color to this Full Bands Gem, which shows only a
suggestion of silver-blue toning otherwise. Decisively struck and
fantastically lustrous, an excellent representative of this Roaring
Twenties issue. PCGS has graded a mere nine finer Full Bands
coins (1/10). (#4963)
386 1929-D MS67 Full Bands PCGS. Vibrant luster exudes from the
frosty surfaces of this lovely Superb Gem. Nearly color free save for
an occasional wisp of gold-tan that shows up under magnification.
A decisive strike leaves bold definition on the design motifs, and
both sides reveal impeccable preservation. Population: 30 in 67
Full Bands, 1 finer (12/09).(#4975)
387 1930-S MS67 NGC. Beautiful luster envelops this nearly untoned
near-Gem. Sharply struck, including good (though not full)
separation in the middle bands. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (1/10).
(#4980)
388 1930-S MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Always popular because of
its low mintage of 1.8 million pieces. Most were unneeded at
the time of issue and distributed to the public only later, in the
mid-1930s. This piece has the usual dazzling mint brilliance and
is brilliant throughout. Population: 55 in 66 Full Bands, 9 finer
(1/10).(#4981)
389 1935-D MS67 Full Bands NGC. The radiantly lustrous surfaces
of this Superb Gem display dappled orange-brown and lime-green
on the obverse and splashes of orange-gold, yellow-gold, and violet
on the reverse. Exquisitely struck and lovingly preserved. Census: 5
in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (1/10). (#4995)
390 1942/1 AU55 NGC. FS-101, formerly FS-010.7. Luster shimmers
throughout the borders and devices of this lightly circulated
key date dime. The overdate is obvious, and no marks are
consequential. A few freckles of jade-green patina are noted near
the rims. (#5036)
391 1942/1 AU58 NGC. FS-101, formerly FS-010.7. The cartwheel
luster is unmistakable, although slightly subdued across the open
fields. This unmarked Borderline Uncirculated dime has dappled
tan-gold and jade-green toning. A dramatic overdate Guide Book
variety that is very scarce relative to demand. (#5036)
1942-D MS68 Full Bands PCGS. A few hints of light gold are
visible on the lustrous surfaces of this Sharply struck Superb Gem.
Impeccably preserved. Population: 17 in 68 Full Bands, 0 finer

Terrific 1942/1-D Dime, MS67 Full Bands
Tied Atop the Condition Census
393 1942/1-D MS67 Full Bands NGC. FS-101, formerly
FS-010.8. In a numismatically less-sophisticated era, coin
collectors believed that the cause of overdates, even those of
the 20th century, was the hand-alteration of a working die—
the repunching by hand, usually of a single digit, for a later year
over that of an earlier one. The belief was certainly not without
justification, as in an earlier time from the late 18th century to
the first few decades of the 19th century, Philadelphia Mint
employees were known to do just that, with the numerous
Bust half overdates the most eloquent evidence of the practice.
But after 1836, the Mint’s new steam presses largely obviated
the need for hand-production of working dies, other than the
punching in of dates from two-, three-, or four-digit logotypes.
Afterward, the production of overdates was confined to those
rare situations, usually close to the end of the year, when the
Mint was making working dies for two different years. The
repeated “squeezes” or impressions required between work-
hardenings or annealings occasionally saw working hubs of
two different years intervening, creating an overdated die via a
dual-hubbing mishap.
Such is the case with the 1942/1 overdate Mercury dimes
from the Philadelphia and Denver mints. The resemblance
largely ends there, however. The Philadelphia variety was
discovered within months of its production, and a photograph
of the error was published in the May 1943 issue of Numismatic
Scrapbook. The Philadelphia variety can be clearly seen with the
naked eye—probably the boldest overdate of the 20th century.
The Denver variant is more subtle, showing only traces of a 1
beneath the 2 and a small extra bit of metal beneath the 4. The
Denver overdate was also publicized much later, in 1962.
The present Superb Gem Full Bands example is
unquestionably among the finest available today in the
numismatic marketplace. NGC has certified two such Full
Bands examples, and the highest-certified Full Bands examples
at PCGS are 13 pieces in MS66 (1/10). This piece stretches
the limits of the meaning of satin luster, veering nearly to
frosty. The piece appears to be an early die state as well, with
a clear bottom to the 1 below the 2 and pronounced doubling
of the 4. There are absolutely no abrasions worthy of mention.
The surfaces are brilliant throughout and silver-white, simply
a terrific coin. Census: 2 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (1/10).

PROOF MERCURY DIMES
395 1936 PR64 PCGS. Luminous surfaces display speckled russet,
purple, and sky-blue toning and are sharply struck. Devoid of
mentionable marks.(#5071)
396 1936 PR65 NGC. Yellow-green, reddish-gold, and orange streaks
and splashes provide a highly attractive color palette on the well
preserved surfaces of this Gem proof. An exacting strike delivers
complete detail to the design elements.(#5071)
Seemingly Perfect PR68 1938 Mercury Dime
397 1938 PR68 NGC. The 1938 is an overlooked date in the 1936-
1942 proof series. The 1936 is the key to the series of course, but
the 1938 dime only had a production run of 8,728 proofs. This is
a stunning example that is completely brilliant throughout. The
fields are deeply mirrored on each side. We see this coin as perfect,
and as Michael Sherman once said, “How can there be two grading
points higher than this?” (#5073)
398 1939 PR68 NGC. Brilliant surfaces displaying whispers of light
gold on the reverse reach out to the observer. An exquisitely struck
and marvelously preserved example of this Superb Gem proof dime.
Census: 67 in 68, 0 finer (12/09).(#5074)
399 1942 PR68 NGC. The mirrored fields are slightly subdued by an
almost imperceptible iridescent toning seen over each side. The
surfaces are essentially perfect in terms of preservation. Considered
the “common” date for the type, but the mintage was still only
22,329 proofs, a tiny fraction of the collectors who would like such
a coin for a type set. (#5077)
ROOSEVELT DIMES
400 1947-S MS67 Full Torch Prooflike NGC. The Trumpet Tail
mintmark is clearly repunched. A virtually pristine Superb Gem,
sharply struck and only faintly toned almond-gold. This is the finest
of only two 1947-S dimes certified by NGC as both Full Torch and
Prooflike. The other example is graded MS65.(#85087)
1949-D Roosevelt Dime, MS68
With Richly Variegated Toning
401 1949-D MS68 PCGS. Wondrously toned in every color
imaginable. The underlying mint luster is thick and enlivens the
colors even more. The surfaces appear flawless. This is one of the
finest examples known of this early issue and will undoubtedly end
up in a premier set of Roosevelt dimes. Population: 5 in 68, 0 finer
(1/10). (#5092)
402 1949-S MS68 ★ NGC. An absolutely stunning Superb Gem, this
1949-S Roosevelt dime has full rainbow toning with pastel green,
yellow, russet, blue, and steel on both sides. This piece is the finest
1949-S Roosevelt dime that we have ever offered, aptly recognized
by the NGC Star label. (#5093)
1951-D Dime, MS68 Full Bands
Among the Finest Known
403 1951-D MS68 Full Bands PCGS. Along with the 1949-D in this
sale, these two pieces (from the same source) would form core coins
to a high-grade set of Roosevelt dimes. The surfaces of this piece
are highly lustrous and greatly enhance the rose, lime-green, and
original brilliance seen on each side. As one would imagine from
the grade, the coin is essentially perfect. Population: 3 in 68 Full
Bands, 0 finer (1/10). (#85098)

STANDING LIBERTY QUARTERS
Famous 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter
405 1916 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests
Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of a VF specimen that has environmental damage and has
been cleaned. This midrange coin is oddly luminous, with the
silver-blue surfaces showing hairlines from a past cleaning. A streak
of dark toning crosses Liberty’s body diagonally, across the shield.
(#5704)
Desirable VF30 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter
406 1916 VF30 NGC. An appealing midrange example of the classic
first-year Standing Liberty quarter key date, medium-gray on the
obverse with the rose and gold accents on that side growing more
overt on the reverse. Significantly worn on the high points, but
smooth with ample detail in the recesses.
From The South Texas Collection. (#5704)
Gorgeous 1916 Gem Standing Liberty Quarter
407 1916 MS65 PCGS. The 1916 Standing Liberty quarter owes its
key date status, at least in part, to design issues that delayed its
production until the end of the year. In a September 24, 2007
Coin World article titled “1916 Standing Liberty 25c Differs From
1917 Designs,” Eric von Klinger writes that Mint officials sought
modifications to Hermon MacNeil’s obverse design through the
latter part of 1916. Finally, Mint Director F.J.H. von Engelken wrote
Philadelphia Mint Superintendent Adam Joyce on November
11 that Treasury Secretary William McAdoo decided “to let the
quarter go as it is,” despite wanting the figure of Liberty to be
brought out more clearly. Von Klinger says that this resulted in a
short production run of only 52,000 coins on December 16 at the
Philadelphia Mint.
Dazzling luster envelops both sides of this magnificent Gem,
each of which displays just a few wisps of barely discernible
light tan-gold color under magnification. The design elements
are strongly impressed, including clarity of the rivets, the inner
shield outline, and most of its horizontal stripes. Liberty’s head,
though not full, still exhibits good detail, as does most of the eagle’s
plumage. A few minute grade-consistent marks fail to take away
from the coin’s gorgeous eye appeal. Population: 25 in 65, 7 finer
(12/09). (#5704)
408 1917 Type One MS65 Full Head NGC. CAC. This lustrous,
sharply struck Gem displays light to medium intensity yellow-gold
toning accented with deep electric-blue and purple at the margins.
Nicely preserved, though we mention a graze on Liberty’s chest for
complete accuracy. (#5707)
409 1917 Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. Strong definition and
luster are the only shared characteristics between the two sides of
this Gem. The obverse has only faint tan peripheral toning around
a broad silver-white center, while the reverse offers dappled violet
and olive-gray patina. (#5 707)

410 1917 Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. Marvelous frosty
luster endows this Gem, and a well executed strike sharpens the
design elements. Not only is the the head fully struck, but the
horizontal and vertical lines in the shield are crisp, as are the rivets.
A few grade-consistent marks are visible on the untoned surfaces.
(#5707)
411 1917 Type One MS65 Full Head NGC. Warm peach and rose
tints cover much of each side, with the reverse showing more of the
underlying silver-white. A well-defined and attractive Type One
type coin. (#5 707)
412 1917-D Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. A rare degree of eye
appeal is seen on this gorgeous Premium Gem. Lovely mattelike
surfaces display ample frostiness and pinpoint detailing. An edging
of reddish-golden-brown toning frames the obverse, while similar
coloration affects all but the high points and the lower border of
the reverse. (#5 709)
413 1917-D Type One MS66 Full Head NGC. This Premium Gem
is boldly defined with full head and shield details. Both sides
have heavy toning with predominate lilac and russet, accented by
blue-green and gold. Census: 75 in 66 Full Head, 20 finer (1/10).
(#5709)
Pleasing 1917-S Type One Quarter, MS66 Full Head
414 1917-S Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Soft, barely
discernible violet patina is joined on the reverse by blue-green and
purple dapples around the margins. Both sides yield pleasing frosty
luster and are nicely preserved. All design elements are sharply
impressed, though the inner shield is somewhat weak. Population:
60 in 66 Full Head, 9 finer (12/09). (#5711)
Magnificent 1917-S Type One Quarter
Full Head Premium Gem
415 1917-S Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. Occasional splashes
of light gold-tan patina visit the highly lustrous surfaces of this
magnificent Premium Gem. In addition to the Full Head, design
completeness is apparent on the rivets, Liberty’s toes, and the eagle’s
plumage. Impeccable preservation reaches out to the observer.
Population: 60 in 66 Full Head, 9 finer (12/09). (#5711)
416 1917 Type Two MS66 Full Head PCGS. Rich reddish-orange
patina embraces most of each side, though small slivers of silver-
white also appeal. Excellent detail and strong eye appeal for this
popular type issue. Population: 63 in 66 Full Head, 7 finer (1/10).
(#5715)
417 1917-S Type Two MS64 Full Head NGC. Occasional splashes of
yellow-green and reddish-gold adhere to the lustrous surfaces of this
near-Gem. Nicely struck save for the usual softness in the rivets at
Liberty’s hip. Devoid of mentionable contact marks. (#5 719)
418 1918-D MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. An uncommonly sharp
example of this earlier Denver issue, profoundly lustrous with rich
and intriguing veils of pink-purple and yellow-green over a pale
silver base. Carefully preserved and memorably appealing. Tied
for the finest Full Head example of the issue certified by NGC or
PCGS (12/09). (#5723)
419 1918-S MS63 Full Head PCGS. The 1918-S is a very scarce issue
in the series with a Full Head, and an MS63 coin is definitely a
worthwhile acquisition. The brilliant surfaces show the usual thick,
frosted mint luster. There are a couple of smaller abrasions that
account for the grade as well as a larger one to the left of the eagle.
(#5725)
Bright 1918-S Quarter, MS64 Full Head
420 1918-S MS64 Full Head PCGS. Bright luster endows the
color-free surfaces of this near-Gem. The design elements are
generally well impressed, though a couple of rivets near Liberty’s
hip are soft. A few minute marks prevent a Gem grade, but this
piece is nevertheless a great-looking Full Head S-mint quarter.
(#5725)
Choice Full Head 1918-S Quarter
421 1918-S MS64 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Virtually untoned and
immensely lustrous with a sharp head and only two soft rivets on
the shield. Both sides of this near-Gem show evidence of clash
marks and lapping, with the reverse fields exhibiting prominent
die polish. PCGS has graded 39 finer Full Head examples (12/09).

422 1918/7-S MS64 PCGS. FS-101, formerly FS-008.5. The 1918/7-S
Standing Liberty quarter went unnoticed—surprisingly so, for such
a bold overdate—until 1937, when the first known example was
offered in a Barney Bluestone sale (12/1937, lot 741), a Mint State
coin that brought a then-remarkable $26.25. At the time the coin
was thought to be unique. Even today, Mint State pieces are quite
rare, and Full Head coins even more so.
The 1918/7-S quarter has numerous die diagnostics that aid in
authentication:
—Most examples show a small, raised die chip above the step,
just to the left of the lowest star on the right.
—A clash mark from the E of AMERICA is at Liberty’s right
knee.
—Clashing and die polishing appear at AME on the reverse.
—A clash from the eagle’s wing runs diagonally through the
first T of TRUST.
All of these features are present on the near-Gem representative
offered here. Brightly lustrous surfaces are minimally toned with
few marks, and while the coin shows typical softness at Liberty’s
head and shield and the eagle’s body, the strike does not detract
from the eye appeal. PCGS has graded only five finer non-Full
Head examples of the overdate (1/10). (#5726)
423 1919 MS67 NGC. Whispers of olive-green visit the lustrous
surfaces of this lovely Superb Gem. Sharply struck, particularly
the chain mail, vertical shield stripes, and rivets. There are no
mentionable marks to report. Census: 15 in 67, 2 finer (1/10).
(#5728)
424 1919-D MS63 PCGS. If one were to assemble a set of Standing
Liberty quarters based on value alone, this piece would certainly
merit consideration. The 1919-D is one of the keys to the Full
Head series, and this piece is well defined even though it does not
merit the coveted Full Head designation. Also, the mint luster is
bright, even semireflective on the reverse. Just a few tiny abrasions
explain the grade.(#5730)
Original Light Gray 1920 Quarter, MS64 Full Head
425 1920 MS64 Full Head PCGS. CAC. An original coin, the
surfaces are oyster-gray with numerous small specks of russet
scattered mostly around the obverse. As usual, the mint luster is
outstanding and there are remarkably few abrasions for an MS64
(which undoubtedly explains the CAC designation). The strike is
strongly defined in all areas. (#5735)
426 1920-S MS65 PCGS. A fully original Gem, this remarkable 1920-
S quarter has frosty luster beneath silver-gray patina with splashes of
iridescent toning. A scarce Standing Liberty quarter that represents
excellent value with mostly complete head definition versus a
technical Full Head coin. Population: 40 in 65, 17 finer (1/10).
(#5738)
Choice Full Head 1920-S Quarter
427 1920-S MS64 Full Head PCGS. Dusky olive hues form an arc on
either side of Liberty’s well-defined head, while the rest of the coin
is pale silver-gray with a suggestion of blue. An elegantly appealing
near-Gem representative of this challenging San Francisco issue.
Population: 30 in 64 Full Head, 22 finer (1/10). (#5739)
428 1921 XF45 NGC. Freckles of grayish-purple patina are somewhat
more prevalent on the obverse of this Choice XF quarter. Nicely
defined for the issue and grade. One of the scarcer dates in the
Standing Liberty series. (#5 740)

Shining 1923 Quarter, MS66 Full Head
429 1923 MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Fantastic luster with an
above-average overall strike, even by Full Head standards; only
one rivet is soft. The obverse is minimally toned save for a hint
of canary-yellow, but that color and pale blue are more prominent
across the reverse. Population: 24 in 66 Full Head, 2 finer (12/09).
(#5743)
430 1924-D MS65 PCGS. Golden-rose toning covers each side
of this well, but not fully struck quarter. Strong mint luster also
shines through the toning. This is an early die state, and scarce as
such, with no trace of the horizontal die crack that later develops
through the date and subsequent weakness at the tops of the digits.
(#5748)
431 1924-S MS65 PCGS. This piece just misses Full Head status, only
lacking the hole in Liberty’s ear. Both sides shimmer with frosted
mint luster that enhances the medium density golden-rose toning.
(#5750)
Full Head MS66 1925 Quarter
432 1925 MS66 Full Head PCGS. Light silver-gray centers show
elements of blue and gold, and the margins show deeper amber-
tan colors. Carefully preserved with a strongly detailed shield
with complete rivets, as well as the Full Head noted in the grade.
Housed in a green label holder. PCGS has graded just six finer Full
Head coins (1/10). (#5753)
Full Head Near-Gem 1926-D Quarter
433 1926-D MS64 Full Head PCGS. CAC. A relatively available
issue, but not at all so in MS64 Full Head; this piece is one of 27 so
certified at PCGS, with 29 finer (12/09). This lustrous silver-white
piece shows amazing head definition, with sharp delineation of the
hairline all the way down to the ear. A couple of the shield rivets
are missing, and interesting parallel marks on Liberty’s torso appear
Mint-made. (#5757)
434 1927 MS66 NGC. Soft multicolored toning endows the lustrous
surfaces of this Premium Gem. This is a sharply struck piece with
minimal marks. Census: 21 in 66, 3 finer (1/10). (#5 760)
435 1927-D MS66 PCGS. CAC. Dappled blue, canary-gold, and
violet hues grace this D-mint Premium Gem. Only slight softness
in the ear area precludes Full Head status. Population: 26 in 66, 0
finer (12/09).(#5762)
436 1927-D MS63 Full Head PCGS. CAC. A pale silver-gray
example with thin skeins of blue toning running through the
fields. Well-defined and minimally abraded for the grade assigned.
(#5763)
437 1927-S XF45 PCGS. CAC. Hints of luster and good detail
show on the silver-gray surfaces. A pleasing Choice XF example
of this late semikey date in the Standing Liberty quarter series.
(#5764)
438 1928-S MS66 Full Head PCGS. The brilliant surfaces of this
Premium Gem offer scintillating satiny luster. The strike is razor-
sharp on the head, and there is only minor weakness on a couple of
shield rivets. PCGS has certified only 12 finer Full Head examples
(12/09).(#5771)
Appealing MS67 Full Head 1928-S Quarter
439 1928-S MS67 Full Head NGC. A brightly lustrous Superb Gem
example of this later S-mint quarter issue, far above-average on
head detail, if slightly soft on the shield and the eagle’s breast
feathers. Each side is practically silver-white, with only occasional
suggestions of gold at the central obverse. Census: 35 in 67 Full
Head, 2 finer (1/10). (#5771)
440 1929 MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Golden color dominates
the centers, while russet and violet elements are present at the
borders. Crisply struck overall with only slight softness at the lower
shield. PCGS has graded just seven finer Full Head coins (12/09).
(#5773)
Impressive 1929-D Quarter, MS65 Full Head
441 1929-D MS65 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Just a trace of light
champagne toning on each side accents the frosty silver brilliance
of this bold Gem. As a date, the 1929-D is scarce, but as a sharp
Gem example, it is a condition rarity. Here is a remarkable
opportunity for the avid Standing Liberty quarter collector to
acquire an important addition. Population: 36 in 65 Full Head, 10
finer (12/09). (#5775)
442 1930 MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. The lustrous obverse has
strong golden overtones, while on the reverse the same colors are
a mere accent. Decidedly above-average detail for this final-year
issue. (#5 7 79)

443 1930 MS66 Full Head NGC. The ultimate type coin in the
Standing Liberty series. This coin has it all: fully struck; bright,
shimmering mint luster; just a trace of light, original toning; and
surfaces clean enough to rate MS66.(#5779)
Lustrous 1930 Quarter, MS67 Full Head
444 1930 MS67 Full Head NGC. CAC. Attractive luster emanates
from silver-gray surfaces accented with violet dapples at the obverse
border and splashes of gold-tan on the reverse. In addition to the
Full Head, relatively strong definition is visible on the chain mail
and vertical stripes on the shield. A nicely preserved piece. Census:
29 in 67 Full Head, 0 finer (12/09). (#5779)
Sharp 1930 Quarter, MS67 Full Head
445 1930 MS67 Full Head NGC. Delicate gold patination joined
by light green, gray, and lavender on the obverse resides on the
highly lustrous surfaces of this Superb Gem. Sharply struck and
culminating in Full Head; the usual softness is visible in a couple
of rivets adjacent to Liberty’s hip. An impeccably preserved piece.
Census: 29 in 67 Full Head, 0 finer (1/10). (#5779)
446 1932-D MS63 PCGS. CAC. Strong silver-white luster is the base
of this Select D-mint key, though both sides also exhibit minor gold
elements. A well struck and minimally abraded coin. (#5 791)
447 1932-D MS63 PCGS. Deep golden-brown and iridescent toning
masks the frosty luster of this key-date 1932-D quarter. Here is an
opportunity to acquire that long missing piece and cross another
one off the want list. (#5 791)
Near-Gem 1932-D Quarter, Upper-End Coin
That Represents Great Value
448 1932-D MS64 PCGS. CAC. The price difference between
MS64 and MS65 in the 1932-D quarter is huge. And that price
differential makes this upper-end, CAC-certified example an
especially good buy. The surfaces have original hazy gray patina
with occasional dabs of golden on the obverse, while the reverse is
almost completely golden-toned. Close examination with a loupe
shows two tiny marks on Washington’s lower cheek. There is also
a dab of deeper golden toning on the high point of the cheek that
looks like a surface flaw, but it is nothing more than toning in that
area. (#5791)
Gem 1932-D Washington Quarter
449 1932-D MS65 PCGS. Silver-gray centers give way to varying
levels of tan and umber peripheral toning on each side. The
obverse has extensive coverage with an additional small patch on
Washington’s neck, while the reverse has patina only at the top
and bottom, deepest at the mintmark. Population: 64 in 65, 1 finer
(12/09). (#5791)
1932-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. Whispers of apple-green, crimson,
and violet patination are somewhat more extensive in territory
and deeper on the obverse of this near-Gem Washington key date
representative. Lustrous, well struck, minimally marked, and highly
appealing. (#5 792)
451 1936-D MS65 NGC. Shining and slightly frosty, a primarily silver-
white coin with touches of peripheral gold and tan. Well-defined
and strongly appealing. NGC has graded just 65 numerically finer
pieces (1/10).(#5801)

Attractive 1942-D Doubled Die Obverse
Washington Quarter, FS-101, MS63
452 1942-D Doubled Die Obverse MS63 PCGS. FS-101, formerly
FS-015. Doubling is most noticeable as notching on the L and E
of LIBERTY and extremely thick letters on all obverse legends.
Splashes of golden-tan are more prevalent on the margins. Highly
lustrous, sharply struck, and minimally abraded. Population: 4 in
63, 1 finer (1/10). (#95818)
453 1943-D MS68 NGC. Vibrant luster invigorates this D-mint
Superb Gem and an exacting strike leaves strong definition on the
design elements. Crimson, forest-green, and yellow-gold patination
is much more extensive and deeper on the obverse. Immaculately
preserved throughout. The single finest certified specimen (1/10).
(#5821)
454 1947-S MS67 PCGS. Golden-brown, navy-blue, and lime-green
consume the margins of this lustrous and mark-free Superb Gem.
Light dove-gray and apricot toning adorn the fields and devices.
PCGS has certified just three pieces finer (1/10).(#5835)
PROOF WASHINGTON QUARTERS
458 1936 PR65 NGC. The bright surfaces of this Gem proof display
occasional splashes of green, yellow-orange, purple, and blue. Well
defined and nicely preserved.(#5975)
First-Year PR66 1936 Quarter
459 1936 PR66 NGC. The first year of the proof Washington quarter
series and perennially popular as such, due in part to the low
mintage of 3,837 pieces. This Premium Gem proof offers silver
centers with accents of copper radiating outward. Generous luster
emanates beneath the light patina. NGC has certified only 20
examples finer (1/10). (#5975)
WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLARS
460 1916-D MS64 PCGS. Variegated violet and champagne coloration
adorns the lustrous surfaces of this well struck near-Gem. A few
unimportant ticks do not detract. (#6567)
455 1950-S/D MS65 PCGS. FS-601, formerly FS-022. This Guide
Book variety clearly shows both mintmarks. A serif of the D is noted
near the upper left of the S, and the curve of the D dominates the
right border of the overmintmark. Lustrous and lightly toned with
a sharp strike and smooth surfaces. Encased in a green label holder.
Population: 47 in 65, 32 finer (1/10).(#5845)
456 1952-S MS67 PCGS. The toning on this coin suggests it was
originally housed in a Mint set holder. The obverse has deeply
speckled blue, golden, and rose toning; while the reverse is ice-blue
in the center with golden-russet around the margin. Superior mint
luster. (#5851)
Memorable MS68 ★ 1954 Quarter
457 1954 MS68 ★ NGC. CAC. Spectacular cherry-red, jade-green,
and golden-brown patina is prominent on both sides, although the
central reverse is only faintly toned. An immaculate and lustrous
Superb Gem, worthy of the finest Registry holding. Census: 2 in 68
★, none finer (1/10). (#5855)
Near-Gem 1916-S Half Dollar
461 1916-S MS64 NGC. A near-Gem San Francisco Walker from the
first year of issue, satiny yet surprisingly bright. Though the strike
is soft, with little definition on the branch hand or the high points
of the eagle, there is no trace of wear, and on the obverse, only
a shallow abrasion in the right obverse field warrants individual
mention. (#6568)
462 1917 MS65 NGC. Golden-brown patina displays reddish-purple
accents at the margins of this sharply struck, strongly lustrous Gem.
The only mark worthy of note is a reverse rim cut at 11 o’clock.
(#6569)
463 1917-D Reverse MS63 PCGS. Bright luster emanates from the

Brilliant MS63 1918-D Walking Liberty Half
464 1918-D MS63 PCGS. In Gem condition, the 1918-D is the third
rarest issue in the Walking Liberty series. This MS63 example
represents excellent value and has most of the eye appeal of an
MS64. The surfaces are brilliant throughout, and the striking
details, while incomplete, are certainly above-average for the issue.
The mint luster is softly frosted, rather than the usual satiny variant.
An exceptionally attractive coin for the grade. (#6575)
Lustrous 1918-D Near-Gem Half Dollar
465 1918-D MS64 PCGS. Both sides of this near-Gem D-mint
representative yield full luster and display soft grayish patina. The
design elements are well struck, including good detail in Liberty’s
branch hand. A few light grazes preclude Gem classification. PCGS
has seen fewer than 30 pieces grading higher (1/10). (#6575)
466 1920 MS64 PCGS. CAC. A charming near-Gem bathed in
pleasing luster. The chestnut-gray toning is original and moderate.
Sharply struck and impressively devoid of significant marks.
(#6580)
Charming MS66 1920-D Half Dollar
467 1920-D MS66 PCGS. With over 1.5 million pieces struck, the
1920-D is not one of the low-mintage rarities commonly touted
as a key date. Yet above the MS65 level, it is impossible to deny
the issue’s condition rarity: NGC has graded only one such coin
and PCGS has certified just six, for a total of seven at the MS66
level and none finer (12/09). This example’s inherent quality
is obvious at first glance, with light golden toning blanketing
uncommonly lustrous surfaces. The top of the obverse adds an arc
of peach. Liberty’s head and branch hand offer uncommonly strong
(though incomplete) detail, and only a few tiny marks are visible.
(#6581)
Delicately Toned 1920-S Half Dollar, MS62
468 1920-S MS62 PCGS. Delicate almond-gold luster bathes this
scarce San Francisco Walking Liberty half. The branch hand shows
expected blending, but the strike is good for the facility. Both
sides are refreshingly unmarked save for a vertical thin line west
of HALF. An opportunity to acquire a nice Uncirculated example.

Near-Gem 1920-S Half Dollar
469 1920-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. Bright silver-white luster with
undercurrents of blue and occasional tan accents close to the
rims. The strike is typically soft on Liberty’s head and hands and
the eagle’s body, yet the pillowy detail somehow ties into the
coin’s impressive eye appeal. PCGS has certified 48 finer examples
(1/10). (#6582)
Shining MS65 1933-S Half Dollar
470 1933-S MS65 PCGS. Some collectors consider the 1933-S the
last issue of the early series of Walkers while others consider it the
first issue of the late series. Regardless, it is scarce in Gem or finer
grades. The present example has full brilliance with sharp details
and faint traces of pale gold toning. PCGS has only certified 82
finer examples (1/10). This piece is housed in a first generation
holder. (#6591)
471 1934 MS67 NGC. Fantastic flashy luster with eye appeal that
cannot be ignored. This sharply struck and dynamic Superb Gem
has minimally toned centers framed by peach and green-gold
patina. Housed in a prior generation holder. NGC has graded just
eight numerically finer pieces (12/09).(#6592)
472 1934 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Splashes of lime-green, orange, and
ice-blue adorn the lustrous surfaces of this beautiful, sharply struck
Superb Gem. A few minute marks are in line with the designated
grade. (#6592)
Stunning MS68 1934 Half Dollar
473 1934 MS68 NGC. With a mintage of nearly 7 million pieces,
the 1934 is available in all grades through sharply struck Gem. In
this lofty grade, however, the 1934 is nearly unobtainable. This
specimen exhibits a sharp strike, including excellent definition on
Liberty’s left thumb and adjacent branches, and on the gown lines.
Radiantly lustrous surfaces offer delicate whispers of cobalt-blue,
golden-brown, and lavender. Nearly pristine surfaces reveal just
a few minor, unobtrusive marks. Census: 8 in 68, 0 finer (1/10).
(#6592)
474 1935-S MS65 NGC. Slightly frosty with a golden aura over
much of the soft silver-white surfaces. An attractive Gem, though
the pillowy detail on the devices is typical. NGC has graded 53
numerically finer examples (12/09).(#6597)
Satiny 1935-S Half Dollar, MS66
475 1935-S MS66 PCGS. The lustrous satinlike surfaces of this
Premium Gem display whispers of champagne-gold around the
borders. The design elements exhibit somewhat better definition
than usually seen, including above-average detail on Liberty’s head
and branch hand. Some milling marks are noted on the obverse
portrait. Population: 92 in 66, 2 finer (12/09). (#6597)
476 1937-D MS66 PCGS. CAC. Bold orange, violet, and umber
shadings cover most of the outer areas, while the centers
glitter under pale silver-blue patina with dots of deep crimson
on the reverse. PCGS has graded just 36 finer pieces (12/09).
(#6602)
477 1939-D MS67 NGC. Rich rose, peach, and silver-blue toning
graces this highly lustrous Superb Gem. The strike is above average,
although the branch hand is incomplete, as nearly always seen.
Census: 86 in 67, 2 finer (1/10). (#6607)
478 1941-S MS66 NGC. A bright, slightly frosty Premium Gem
example of this popular short-set issue. Gold-kissed surfaces are
minimally marked, though the devices show a degree of the usual
softness. NGC has graded 17 numerically finer pieces (12/09).
(#6613)
479 1944-D MS67 NGC. Bright luster envelops this Superb Gem.
The only apparent color shows as light gold-tan on portions of
the reverse. Well struck and revealing just a few minute grade-
consistent marks. (#6622)
480 1946 Doubled Die Reverse MS64 PCGS. FS-801, formerly
FS-011.1. Doubling is most prominent on the eagle’s feathers and
on E PLURIBUS UNUM. Currently the only die variety of the
series that receives a separate Guide Book listing. Untoned and
lustrous with a good strike and a well preserved reverse. Population:
48 in 64, 19 finer (1/10).(#6632)
481 1947 MS67 PCGS. Soft golden-brown patination runs over the
strongly lustrous surfaces of this Superb Gem and an impressive
strike leaves good detail on the design motifs, including Liberty’s
branch hand. Both sides have been well cared for.(#6630)

PROOF WALKING LIBERTY
HALF DOLLARS
Attractive 1936 Half Dollar, PR65
482 1936 PR65 NGC. Soft ice-blue and gold-tan patina on the obverse
of this key-date representative in the short Walking Liberty proof
series cedes to a layer of rose coloration on the reverse dappled with
olive-green. Some faint obverse marks may well preclude an even
finer numerical grade. (#6636)
Delicately Toned 1936 Half Dollar, PR66
483 1936 PR66 NGC. The 1936 is the key to the Walking Liberty
half series. Splashes of yellow-gold are joined by whispers of apple-
green on the reverse of this Premium Gem example, and a powerful
strike imparts bold definition to the design elements. Impeccably
preserved throughout. (#6636)
Original 1936 Half Dollar, PR67
484 1936 PR67 PCGS. This challenging first-year issue had a
mintage limited to a mere 3,901 proofs. A large percentage of
this production run was later cleaned by non-numismatists, and
as a result high grade, original coins are elusive and always eagerly
sought by collectors. This is such a coin. Each side is problem-free
and totally original. A small center of original brilliance is seen
on the obverse, while the reverse has a much larger center of
brightness. The margins display a subtle iridescence that is most
appealing. (#6636)
485 1937 PR65 PCGS. CAC. Fantastic mirrors with considerable
cameo contrast for a coin not certified as such. Peripheral cream-
gold tints on the obverse extend into the fields on the reverse.
(#6637)
486 1937 PR66 NGC. Luminous, well cared-for surfaces display hints
of violet and champagne color and occasional deep purple freckles.
Sharply struck throughout.(#6637)
487 1937 PR66 NGC. The obverse displays barely discernible freckles
of gold and gray while the reverse takes on deeper shades of
gold-tan, yellow-gold, and purple. A decisive strike leaves strong
definition on the design elements.(#6637)
488 1938 PR67 NGC. The nearly untoned obverse on this Superb
Gem is replaced on the reverse with yellow-gold, violet, sea-
green, and reddish-gold. Well struck and impeccably preserved.
(#6638)
489 1939 PR67 NGC. CAC. The full brilliance of this Superb
Gem appears to reach out to the observer. Decisively struck and
impeccably preserved. (#6639)

Colorful PR68 1939 Half Dollar
490 1939 PR68 NGC. Though the impressive mirrors of this PR68
specimen are never overpowered by the colorful toning over each
side, its pastel-yellow, turquoise, and rose-violet hues are always
eye-catching and seemingly omnipresent. Marvelous eye appeal in
all respects. NGC has graded only one numerically finer example
(1/10). (#6639)
491 1940 PR67 NGC. The champagne-gold surfaces of this Superb
Gem proof display occasional splashes of sky-blue, slightly
more so on the obverse. Sharply struck and lovingly preserved.
(#6640)
494 1942 PR67 NGC. CAC. A veneer of yellow-gold and ice-blue
patina runs over both sides of this sharply struck Superb Gem
proof, accented with a sliver of purple on the lower right margin of
the reverse. An impeccably preserved piece. (#6642)
Stunning 1942 Walker, PR68
495 1942 PR68 NGC. A gorgeous Walking Liberty half dollar, this
Superb Gem proof has bold devices and light contrast that results
from the combination of lustrous devices and mirrored fields.
Both sides are graced with lovely golden toning with brilliant blue
around a portion of the obverse periphery. NGC has only certified
four finer examples (1/10). (#6642)
Nearly Perfect PR68 1940 Walker
492 1940 PR68 NGC. This is an essentially perfect proof Walker, and
even a loupe fails to reveal any mentionable contact marks. These
early proof sets were packaged in cellophane envelopes, and with
the passing years they became more and more brittle; eventually,
many of them split on the side(s). This piece appears to have come
from an envelope that split on the right side, as both obverse and
reverse are deeply toned in that area, while brilliant elsewhere.
An interesting and impressive type coin. Census: 51 in 68, 0 finer
(1/10). (#6640)
Brilliant 1941 Half Dollar, PR68
493 1941 PR68 NGC. Stunning brilliance appear to reach out to the
observer of this superb Gem proof Walker, and a well executed
strike imparts crisp definition to the design elements. Immaculately
preserved surfaces exhibit no mentionable contact marks or spots.
Both sides yield tremendous eye appeal. Census: 67 in 68, 0 finer
(1/10). (#6641)
Lovely 1942 Walker, PR68
496 1942 PR68 NGC. This fully brilliant Superb Gem proof Walking
Liberty half dollar has exceptionally deep mirrored fields around
satiny devices, with slight contrast visible. Both sides have
outstanding eye appeal with bright, untoned silver surfaces. NGC
has certified four finer pieces (1/10). (#6642)
FRANKLIN HALF DOLLAR
Important 1960 Franklin Half Dollar
MS66 Full Bell Lines
497 1960 MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Here is a lovely 1960
Franklin half dollar that is destined for a Set Registry collection,
as it is tied for the finest Full Bell Lines pieces that PCGS has
certified. Both sides have gold, olive, and iridescent toning over
frosty luster. Population: 34 in 66 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (1/10).

PROOF FRANKLIN HALF DOLLARS
498 1950 PR67 PCGS. A Superb Gem example of this initial
Franklin half dollar proof issue, sharply struck but with a degree
of cartwheeling to the luster. Silver-white overall with reddish-tan
peripheral elements.(#6691)
499 1953 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. Intensely mirrored fields show
remarkable black-on-white contrast against the snow-white
devices. A number of milk spots in the fields limit the grade, but
there are virtually no marks on either side. PCGS reports just seven
Deep Cameo pieces finer than this sharply struck specimen (1/10).
(#96694)
500 1961 Doubled Die Reverse PR64 PCGS. FS-801, formerly
FS-013. A near-Gem proof example of this only Franklin half
doubled die listed in the Guide Book. Modestly contrasted with
minor milk spots and hairlines on otherwise silver-white surfaces.
Population: 13 in 64, 38 finer (1/10).(#6689)
PR66 1961 Doubled Die Reverse Half
501 1961 Doubled Die Reverse PR66 PCGS. FS-801, formerly
FS-013. Dramatic die doubling is evident on UNITED and E
PLURIBUS UNUM, as well as on other reverse letters. The
gleaming surfaces exhibit slight cameo contrast on the obverse.
The strike is razor-sharp, and aside from a degree of peripheral
milk-spotting, both sides are virtually pristine. A fantastic example
of this underrated variety. (#6689)

MORGAN DOLLARS
502 1878 8TF MS65 PCGS. VAM-16. A pleasing Gem of this first
design of the first year of the new Morgan dollar issue, a brilliantly
mirrored silver-white coin with good eye appeal and generous
cartwheel luster. Seldom seen finer, as PCGS has certified only 31
pieces in higher grade (1/10).(#7072)
Impressive 1878 Eight Tailfeathers
Morgan Dollar, MS66
503 1878 8TF MS66 PCGS. VAM-16. An immensely lustrous and
dynamically toned Premium Gem example of this one-year-only
design type. The left obverse shows rainbow arcs of emerald, indigo,
violet, magenta, yellow, and finally turquoise. The rest of the coin
has faint gold-gray toning that thickens near the rims. Well struck
devices are softly frosted beneath the patina. Population: 29 in 66,
2 finer (12/09). (#7072)
504 1878 7/8TF Strong MS65 PCGS. VAM-36. A prominent
7/4 Tailfeathers variety adds interest to this first-year coin. An
impressively lustrous Gem, softly struck but richly toned blue-
green and gold-orange with additional cobalt and pale silver-gray
elements on the reverse. (#7078)
Rare 1878 7/8 Tailfeathers Dollar
MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike
505 1878 7/8TF Strong MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-
38. The 7/8 Tailfeathers is always desirable with Prooflike, or
in this case Deep Mirror Prooflike fields. The die polishing that
gives this piece its DMPL status is abundantly clear on the design
elements. Portions have been polished away on Liberty’s hair, the
eagle’s wings, and the eagle’s legs. The surfaces are brilliant except
for a light accent of golden around the perimeters. The devices are
sharply struck and there are no large or objectionable abrasions.
Population: 43 in 63 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 31 finer (1/10).
From The Classic Collection. (#97079)
Seldom Seen 1878 7/8 Tailfeathers Dollar
MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike
506 1878 7/8TF Weak MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-34.
The 7/8 Tailfeathers variety has long been a highly respected issue
with Prooflike or Deep Mirror Prooflike fields. This is an especially
pleasing example for the grade that is brilliant throughout. The
striking details are complete in the centers on each side, and there are
only the light, scattered abrasions one would expect from an MS63.
Population: 46 in 63 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 34 finer (1/10).
From The Classic Collection. (#97071)
507 1878 7TF Reverse of 1878 MS65 PCGS. A swath of rainbow
toning occurs on the upper obverse of this highly lustrous Gem.
Well struck and nicely preserved.(#7074)
508 1878-CC MS65 PCGS. This is a brilliant example of this first-year
CC Morgan dollar, and always a popular issue as such. The striking
details are complete on both sides and there are no detracting
abrasions on this impressive Gem. (#7080)
509 1878-CC MS65 PCGS. A brilliant silver-white Gem of this
always-popular issue, the first Morgan dollars produced at the
fabled Carson City Mint. Generous cartwheel luster and a bold
strike complete the obvious eye appeal. A nice choice for a Gem
set.(#7080)
510 1878-S MS66 PCGS. A frosty Premium Gem with dramatic
obverse toning, deep olive, blue, and yellow-green over most of the
left obverse with a sharp line and abrupt shift to silver. The reverse
shows only light gold-orange peripheral toning around a near¬
brilliant center. (#7082)
511 1878-S MS66 PCGS. Intense luster shows through dappled
medium intensity multicolored toning. An exacting strike imparts
strong detail to the devices including the hair over Liberty’s ear
and the eagle’s breast feathers. Both sides have been well cared for.
(#7082)
512 1879 MS66 PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. The silvery surfaces of this
Premium Gem dollar possess full luster and reveal just a few minor
grade-consistent marks. A well executed strike leaves strong
definition on the design elements, including the breast feathers,
features that are often weak. Population: 85 in 66, 1 finer (12/09).
(#7084)
513 1879 MS66 PCGS. Light gold peripheral toning is joined by
electric-blue and lavender on the obverse margins. Adequately
struck, save for some weakness in the obverse center. A few minute
obverse marks are noted. Population: 86 in 66, 1 finer (1/10).

514 1879-CC PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92
suggests Cleaned as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that
PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has
the details of an XF specimen that has been cleaned and exhibits
obverse damage. The damage consists of several small but relatively
deep marks on the chin and jaw. This lightly toned semikey Carson
City dollar has ample bright luster, and the cleaning is relatively
inoffensive. (#7086)
515 1879-CC XF45 NGC. Hints of light gold visit this Choice
XF Morgan. Fairly clean surfaces exhibit well defined devices.
(#7086)
Brilliant 1879-CC Dollar, MS62
516 1879-CC MS62 AN ACS. VAM-2b. This is the Normal Mintmark
variety with no die defects around the CC. It is a frosty Mint State
piece with brilliant silver surfaces beneath light champagne toning.
The 1879-CC is the second rarest Carson City Morgan dollar, and
always in demand in all Mint State grades. (#7086)
Choice Mint State 1879-CC Dollar
517 1879-CC MS64 PCGS. Soft luster filters through the dusky blue-
gray shadings that drape this Carson City near-Gem. An attractive
example of a challenging issue with above-average definition on
the hair over Liberty’s ear. A small patch of roughness is noted
above the A in STATES. Elusive any finer, with PCGS certifying
only 93 such pieces (1/10). (#7086)
518 1879-CC Capped Die XF45 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety.
Gold-orange rim toning does not reach into the pale silver-
gray centers, which retain considerable luster. Light wear and
abrasions are present mostly on the devices. A pleasing example
of this repunched mintmark variant in a better circulated grade.
(#7088)
519 1879-CC Capped Die AU53 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety.
Luster outlines all design elements of this better date Carson City
dollar. The centers display light wear, but the nearly untoned
surfaces lack consequential marks. (#7088)
Lustrous 1879-CC Morgan, MS62
Capped Die Variety
520 1879-CC Capped Die MS62 ANACS. VAM-3. A Top 100
Variety. The Capped Die variety, actually a doubled mintmark with
an engraver’s attempt to remove the smaller mintmark resulting in
myriad tiny raised lumps around the mintmark. This frosty Mint
State piece has considerable silver brilliance with faint lilac and
gold toning. (#7088)
Shining Gem 1879-0 Dollar
521 1879-0 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Though not strictly Prooflike,
owing to the prominent cartwheels and uneven reflectivity of the
silver-white fields, the overall appearance of this Gem is suggestive.
Solidly struck central devices offer delightful silver-white frost.
PCGS has certified just 13 finer examples (1/10). (#7090)
522 1879-S MS67 PCGS. CAC. Electric-blue, purple, and gold-
orange patina gravitates to the margins of this lovely Superb Gem.
Lustrous surfaces are impeccably preserved.(#7092)
523 1880-CC MS66 PCGS. Well struck, essentially untoned surfaces
yield pleasing luster. Light obverse grazes are unimportant. PCGS
has seen only 27 finer examples (1/10). (#7100)
524 1880-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. A wisp or two of light grayish-
tan occurs on each side of this Premium Gem. Lustrous surfaces
exhibit sharply struck design elements and are minimally abraded.
(#7100)
525 1880-CC 8 Over High 7 MS65 NGC. VAM-5. A Top 100
Variety. Although undesignated as such on the insert, this is one
of the three major 1880-CC dollar overdate varieties. Each of the
three VAMs receives a separate Guide Book listing. A lustrous Gem
that has peripheral glimpses of peach toning. The fields are well
preserved, while the cheek has a few faint grazes. (#7102)
526 1880-CC 8 Over High 7 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. VAM-5. A
Top 100 Variety. Among the most obvious silver dollar overdate
varieties. Almond-gray toning visits impressively smooth surfaces.
The fields are unabraded and flashy, particularly on the reverse.
Population: 14 in 65 Prooflike, 0 finer (12/09).(#7103)

Premium Gem 8 Over Low 7 VAM-6
1880-CC Dollar, Top 100
527 1880-CC 8 Over Low 7 MS66 NGC. VAM-6. A Top 100
Variety. The variety and overdate are undesignated on the NGC
holder. Each side is mostly untoned on this lustrous and nicely
struck Carson City dollar. Minor facial grazes are of little import.
Several overdate VAMS are known for 1880-dated Morgan dollars,
but the 1880-CC VAM-4 through VAM-6 are the most prominent.
(#7104)
MS66 1880-CC Silver Dollar
Popular 8 Over Low 7
528 1880-CC 8 Over Low 7 MS66 PCGS. VAM-6. A Top 100
Variety. The underdigit 7 is unmistakable within both loops of the
8, and also extends beneath the base of that digit. A nicely struck
and lustrous Carson City Premium Gem that has a hint of caramel-
gold toning on each side. The fields are exceptionally smooth, and
the portrait has only wispy grazes. Population: 30 in 66, 0 finer
(1/10). (#7104)
529 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 MS64 NGC. VAM-4. A Top
100 Variety. The underdigits 79 are bold beneath the 80, and
the reverse has the Parallel (top) Arrow Feather style of 1878.
Barely discernible gold peripheral color on the reverse cedes to
slightly deeper purple, electric-blue, and gold on the obverse.
Lustrous surfaces are sharply struck and reveal just a few minor
marks precluding Gem status. (#7108)
530 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. CAC. VAM-4. A
Top 100 Variety. Essentially untoned surfaces yield pleasing luster
and sharply impressed design elements. Several obverse grazes
define the grade. (#7108)
531 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top
100 Variety. A nearly brilliant Choice Carson City overdated
dollar with booming luster. Abrasions are few and inconsequential,
although a fingerprint trace is noted near 3 o’clock on the reverse.
(#7108)
532 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 MS65 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top
100 Variety. Well struck with strong luster. Untoned surfaces are
minimally abraded. (#7108)
533 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 MS65 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top
100 Variety. While traces of the underdigits are sometimes not
visible or weakly defined, on this piece all that is required is light
magnification to make out the outlines of the 7 and 9 underdigits.
The coin is brilliant and highly lustrous and the striking details are
fully brought up. (#7108)
534 1880-0 MS64 PCGS. Micro O. Whispers of peripheral gold
and purple are joined by golden-tan on the central reverse. Fully
lustrous and sharply struck with just a few minute grade-consistent
marks. Difficult to locate any finer.(#7114)
535 1880-0 MS64 NGC. Cobalt-blue, lavender, and gold-tan patina
runs over the lustrous surfaces of this well struck near-Gem. Light
marks are visible on the cheek and neck.(#7114)
536 1880-0 MS64 NGC. Micro O. Both sides are covered in patches
of violet, dove-gray, olive-green, and amber, which complement
the sharply struck details. Some grade-defining marks are noted on
Liberty’s cheek, on the eagle’s breast, and in the upper reverse field.
NGC reports just 21 examples finer (12/09). Housed in a prior
generation holder.(#7114)
537 1880-0 MS64 PCGS. Micro O. This well struck near-Gem has
a nearly brilliant reverse. The obverse features dusky chestnut
toning. Lustrous and attractive with minimal marks. Much scarcer
in better Mint State grades than its 1880 Carson City counterpart.
(#7114)
538 1880/79-0 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-4. A Top
100 Variety. Micro O reverse. The overdate feature is unlisted on the
PCGS insert of the green label holder. The 1880-0 is a remarkably
scarce coin with Deep Mirror Prooflike fields, and it is certainly a
worthy acquisition in MS63. This piece is brilliant throughout and
the deeply mirrored fields establish a “black” background for the
white, frosted devices. A few obverse abrasions are noted, but this
is a premium example of this prooflike rarity. Fully struck.
From The Classic Collection. (#97117)
539 1880-S MS67 ★ NGC. CAC. Large S. The 1880-S is plentiful in
the better grades of Mint State, but locating a Superb Gem with
both the NGC Star and the CAC green label, as is the case with
the present offering, is extremely difficult. Radiant luster emanates
from its impeccably preserved, untoned surfaces, and a decisive
strike delivers strong definition to the design elements. This coin
possesses super all-around eye appeal.(#7118)
540 1880-S MS67 Prooflike NGC. CAC. Medium S. Freckles of purple
concentrate at the margins of this Superb Gem and sharply struck
design motifs stand out against the prooflike fields. A wonderfully
preserved specimen with strong eye appeal.(#7119)
541 1880-S MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Large
S. Flashy and gorgeous with thickly frosted devices and deeply
reflective mirrors. The obverse is minimally toned, though the
upper left reverse shows an area of amber. PCGS has only certified
28 finer (12/09).(#97119)
Dazzling 1880-S Morgan
MS67 Deep Mirror Proof like
542 1880-S MS67 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. Medium S. This
stone-white Superb Gem obtains its remarkable eye appeal from a
combination of deeply frosted motifs and immaculate glassy fields.
Crisply struck and exceptionally attractive. Census: 17 in 67 Deep
Mirror Prooflike, 3 finer (1/10). (#97119)
543 1880/9-S MS67 PCGS. CAC. VAM-11, A Hot 50 Variety.
Remnants of the former 9 are visible within the 0 in the date.
Brightly lustrous and untoned. Adequately struck and impeccably
preserved. Population: 22 in 67, 1 finer (1/10).(#7122)

544 1881-CC MS66 NGC. Pleasing luster radiates from the silver-gray
surfaces of this Premium Gem. Excellent design detail is apparent
throughout. A few grade-consistent grazes are undistracting.
(#7126)
545 1881-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. This sharply struck, highly lustrous
Premium Gem generates excellent eye appeal. Both sides are color-
free. Housed in a green label holder.(#7126)
546 1881-CC MS66 NGC. CAC. Both sides of this Premium Gem
are awash with radiant luster and are completely devoid of color.
Sharply struck, including the hair at Liberty’s ear and the eagle’s
breast feathers. Well preserved throughout.(#7126)
547 1881-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ebullient luster exudes from the
untoned surfaces of this attractive Premium Gem. Boldly struck on
the devices, and devoid of mentionable marks.(#7126)
548 1881-CC MS66 PCGS. A lovely example of this ever-popular
Carson City Morgan dollar, well-defined with subtly frosted high
points. Ample silver-gray haze drapes the beautifully preserved
surfaces.(#7126)
Spectacular MS67 1881-CC Morgan Dollar
549 1881-CC MS67 PCGS. The 1881-CC has an impressively low
mintage of only 296,000 pieces, but a very high survival rate because
most of the production was stored for 80 years in government
vaults. Unlike most of the GSA dollars seen this example was not
extensively abraded. In fact, the thick mint luster shows only a few
inconsequential luster grazes on each side. The strike is full, as one
would expect, and the centers are untoned and surrounded by a
light accent of golden patina at the margins. (#7126)
550 1881-CC MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. Deeply mirrored
fields accentuate the sharply struck, mildly frosted devices.
Untoned surfaces reveal a few light to moderate abrasions over
each side. Census: 60 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 11 finer (1/10).
(#97127)
551 1881-0 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. This is a splendid,
heavily contrasted white-on-black cameo that is completely
brilliant. The devices are fully struck on each side.
From The Classic Collection. (#97129)
552 1881-0 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Essentially
color-free surfaces exhibit strong field-device contrast and are
sharply struck. While a few minute grazes preclude Gem status,
MS64 is the finest grade most collectors will encounter. PCGS has
seen only seven examples graded higher (12/09).(#97129)
553 1881-0 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Deeply
mirrored fields highlight frosty, sharply struck motifs. Color-free
surfaces reveal a few minor grade-defining grazes. Very difficult to
locate any finer. (#9 7129)
554 1881-0 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. A wondrous coin
that exhibits unfathomably deep mirrors in the fields. Set against
these mirrors are the thick, lustrous devices that establish the Deep
Mirror Prooflike designation. The surfaces are brilliant throughout
and the devices are notably lacking in the abrasions that usually
accompany DMPL dollars. Essentially unobtainable any finer, only
11 pieces have been certified better than this piece (1/10).

555 1881-S MS67 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Prooflike fields yield
pleasing contrast with the sharply struck design elements. Untoned
surfaces are well cared for. Population: 64 in 67 Prooflike, 1 finer
(1/10).(#7131)
556 1882 MS66 NGC. CAC. The color-free surfaces of this Premium
Gem exhibit remarkable smoothness. Pleasing luster with a
reasonable strike.(#7132)
557 1882 MS66 PCGS. CAC. A frosty Premium Gem with the look
of a Carson City dollar, rather than a Philadelphia Mint product.
This piece has brilliant luster and sharp design features with no
evidence of toning on either side. PCGS has only certified six finer
examples of the date (1/10).(#7132)
558 1882 MS66 PCGS. The obverse of this lovely Premium Gem is
fully brilliant with faint gold toning at the border, while the reverse
is deeply toned in dark gold and iridescent shades. PCGS has only
certified six finer pieces (1/10).(#7132)
559 1882-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. Whispers of light peripheral gold
are more extensive and deeper on the reverse of this Premium
Gem Morgan. Generally well struck and minimally abraded.
(#7134)
560 1882-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. Medium intensity multicolored
toning covers most of the obverse of this Premium Gem, leaving
the reverse color-free. Well cared for surfaces exhibit sharply struck
devices, including the hair over Liberty’s ear and the eagle’s breast
feathers. (#7134)
561 1882-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. The untoned reverse cedes to light
orange, sky-blue, and purple toning on the obverse. Well preserved,
lustrous surfaces exhibit sharp definition.(#7134)
Important 1882-O/S VAM-4 Morgan, MS64
562 1882-O/S MS64 PCGS. VAM-4, O/S Recessed. A Top 100
Variety. This brilliant Mint State piece is a Choice example of the
popular overmintmark variety. These pieces are usually available
in MS64, but almost never any finer. PCGS has only certified two
finer examples of the variety (1/10). (#7138)
Superlative 1882-S Morgan, MS68
563 1882-S MS68 NGC. Neither NGC or PCGS have certified a
finer example of the 1882-S Morgan dollar. This Superb Gem is
sharply defined with satiny silver luster and only a trace of gold
toning along portions of the obverse and reverse borders. Census:
77 in 68,0 finer (1/10). (#7140)
A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
564 1883 MS67 NGC. Fantastically lustrous with suggestions of pale
blue on the reverse of an otherwise silver-white Superb Gem. Well-
defined for the issue and notably appealing. NGC has graded only
three numerically finer pieces (12/09).(#7142)
Brilliant MS67 1883-CC Dollar
565 1883-CC MS67 PCGS. The 1883-CC and 1884-CC are common
date dollars from the GSA hoard, but rarely are these dates seen in
MS67 condition. As one would expect from a CC dollar, the mint
luster is thick and frosted. The striking details are fully brought up
on each side, and there are no mentionable abrasions. A wonderful
CC type coin. (#7144)
566 1883-CC MS66 Prooflike NGC. Both sides of this Premium Gem
Prooflike Morgan yield considerable “flash,” and each is essentially
color-free. Well struck surfaces are nicely preserved. Census: 68 in
66 Prooflike, 2 finer (12/09).(#7145)
567 1883-0 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. One of the more
available O-mints with reflective fields, this 1883-0 is brilliant and
fully struck. The fields are deeply mirrored and the frosted devices
establish a stark contrast on each side.
From The Classic Collection. (#97147)
568 1883-S MS62 PCGS. Essentially untoned surfaces exhibit a nearly
unbroken luster flow and well struck design elements. Distributed
light marks occur over each side.(#7148)
569 1883-S MS62 NGC. The soft frosty luster of this brilliant silver
dollar hosts pale champagne toning on each side. Typical weakness
is evident over Liberty’s ear, but all other design elements are sharp.
Here is an attractive example, and a scarce date that is often on
collector want lists. (#7148)
570 1883-S MS63 NGC. Bright luster endows the untoned surfaces of
this Select S-mint coin. A well struck piece that shows a few grade-
consistent marks.(#7148)
Impressive Gem 1883-S Dollar
571 1883-S MS65 PCGS. The 1883-S Morgan is well known for its
similarities and differences from the other S-mint issues preceding
it in the series. Similar is that when Mint State specimens of the
1883-S are found, they largely feature sharp strikes and are overall
quite well produced. Different is that few were apparently saved,
and those that did survive seem to have been handled roughly,
resulting in severe bag marks, as a rule.
This is a wonderful example that fortunately escaped the twin
fates of melting or severe abrasions. The strike is bold throughout,
with only minor weakness on the hair above the ear and the eagle’s
breast. There are no singular abrasions, and the delightful patina
comprises jade in the obverse center, ceding to amber-gold at the
rim, with the reverse displaying pinkish-gray and amber accents.
PCGS has certified only 15 coins at this level, with three finer
(1/10). A prize for the Morgan dollar aficionado, and a coin of rare
beauty. (#7148)
572 1884 MS66 Prooflike NGC. Virtually brilliant, although hints
of gold are noted here and there. Attentively struck and well
preserved with flashy fields and impressive eye appeal. Census: 5 in
66 Prooflike, 0 finer (12/09).(#7151)

Attractively Toned MS67 1884-CC Dollar
573 1884-CC MS67 PCGS. The 188TCC was heavily represented
in the GSA hoard by 962,638 pieces. When these coins were sold,
examples such as this one were sold at a discounted price because
the government equated toning with wear! This is a fabulous dollar
that has thick mint luster that shines brightly through the golden
toning on the obverse. The reverse is mostly brilliant with just
a hint of peripheral color. The striking details are complete, and
there are no mentionable or noticeable abrasions on either side
of this magnificent dollar. Population: 56 in 67, 3 finer (1/10).
(#7152)
1884-CC Dollar, MS67
A Magnificent Type Coin
574 1884-CC MS67 PCGS. The majority of the mintage of 1.1 million
pieces of the 1884-CC remained in government vaults for decades.
Bowers (1993) mentions the sale of an 1884'CC in an auction in
1919 that brought an astounding $11.00, underscoring how few of
this issue actually were released to the public. The surfaces of this
piece have soft, creamy mint luster that is unimpaired by even the
tiniest abrasion. Both sides are brilliant throughout. (#7152)
575 1884-CC MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Untoned surfaces
yield strong field-motif contrast and are minimally abraded. Sharp
definition is apparent on the design features, including the hair
over Liberty’s ear. (#9 7153)
576 1884-CC MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. Sharply struck
design features are highlighted by the deeply mirrored fields.
Whispers of gold and purple toning concentrate at the margins. A
few grade-consistent marks are undisturbing.(#97153)
577 1884-S PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .91 suggests
Artificial Color as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that
PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. The coin has Unc. Details,
but of course this is not indicated on the insert. The surfaces
are remarkably lustrous, especially for an 1884-S, but each side
is covered with heavy blue and purple toning. The obverse is
sharply struck while the center of the reverse show a bit of striking
weakness on the eagle’s breast.(#7156)
578 1884-S AU58 PCGS. The silvery surfaces of this near-Mint
State Morgan exhibit ample luster and well defined devices. A few
minute marks are noted over each side. (#7156)
Delightful 1884-S Morgan, MS61
579 1884-S MS61 AN ACS. The 1884-S Morgan dollar is one of the
important condition rarities in the series, nearly always available
in all circulated grades, but seldom seen in Mint State. Here is an
exceptional example for the grade, with fully lustrous silver surfaces
and delightful iridescent peripheries. (#7156)
580 1885 MS67 NGC. Silver-white brightness on the obverse and
right reverse with peach-gold toning over the remainder. NGC
has certified only five examples above the MS67 level (1/10).
(#7158)
581 1885 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. A lovely Morgan dollar
with brilliant silver surfaces that combined deep mirrored fields
and frosty, lustrous devices. This example approaches the finest
certified, with just one better piece graded by PCGS. Population:
70 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer (12/09).(#97159)
582 1885-CC MS65 NGC. VAM-4. A Hot 50 Variety. The VAM
is undesignated on the PCGS insert. A thick dash beneath the
second 8 probably suggests the base of a 7. Strong definition is
apparent on the design features of this untoned, highly lustrous
Gem. A few light grazes do not distract. (#7160)
583 1885-CC MS65 NGC. CAC. Gold, grayish-blue, and purple
splashes show on the obverse of this Gem, leaving the reverse
essentially untoned. Generally well struck save for minor softness
in the centers. A few trivial grazes do not disturb.(#7160)
584 1885-CC MS65 ★ NGC. Partially prooflike fields accentuate
the well struck design features. Untoned surfaces are very nicely
preserved. (#7160)
585 1885-CC MS65 NGC. Bright luster endows this sharply struck
Gem. Untoned surfaces show just a few light grazes.(#7160)
586 1885-CC MS65 NGC. Brightly lustrous with a suggestion of
frostiness on the devices. This CC-mint Gem is largely silver-white
with splashes of green-gold and brown through the left reverse.
(#7160)
587 1885-CC MS65 PCGS. Booming luster exudes from both
sides of this lovely Gem, each of which shows a wisp or two of
light tan color. Well defined and revealing no significant marks.
(#7160)
588 1885-CC MS65 PCGS. This sharply struck Gem displays good
detail in the hair at Liberty’s ear and on the breast feathers.
Untoned, lustrous, and quite nicely preserved. (#7160)
589 1885-CC MS66 NGC. Coruscating luster endows the silvery
surfaces of this Premium Gem. A sharply struck, minimally abraded
piece with outstanding eye appeal. (#7160)
590 1885-CC MS66 NGC. The reddish-gold obverse displays purple
and electric-blue accents at the margins, while the reverse is
basically untoned. Sharply struck, including the hair at Liberty’s ear
and the eagle’s breast feathers. Nicely preserved, with semiprooflike
fields that highlight the devices.(#7160)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
591 1885-CC MS66 PCGS. Nearly untoned save for a wisp of two of
barely discernible gold color on the reverse. Lustrous surfaces are
well struck and minimally abraded. (#7160)
592 1885-CC MS66 PCGS. Soft sky-blue, purple, and gold patina
shows at the margins, especially on the obverse. Lustrous, well
struck, and nicely preserved. (#7160)
593 1885-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. Vibrant luster enlivens both
sides of this sharply struck Premium Gem; softness is noted in
the obverse center, however. Untoned and minimally abraded.
(#7160)
594 1885-CC MS66 NGC. Strongly struck with ample frosty luster.
The upper right obverse shows a suggestion of green patina, while
the rest of the coin is pale silver-gray. A luster graze is noted to the
left of Liberty’s nose. (#7160)
595 1885-CC MS66 PCGS. Nearly untoned save for occasional wisps
of yellow-gold and tan. Lustrous surfaces exhibit well struck devices
and reveal just a few obverse grazes.(#7160)
596 1885-CC MS66 PCGS. Yellow-gold splashes run over the radiantly
lustrous surfaces of this well struck Premium Gem, accented with
electric-blue, lavender, and orange at the margins. Some light
grade-consistent marks are undisturbing. (#7160)
597 1885-CC MS66 NGC. Dynamic luster adorns the untoned
surfaces of this Premium Gem and a decisive strike manifests itself
in sharp definition on the design features. Devoid of mentionable
marks. (#7160)
598 1885-0 MS67 NGC. Medium intensity rainbow-like toning
gravitates to the upper reverse margin, leaving most of the
remaining surfaces color-free. Both sides possess intense luster and
are sharply struck and minimally abraded.(#7162)
599 1885-0 MS67 NGC. Shining luster, silver-white with touches
of cream and gray, gives way to a tiny strip of green-gold and blue
at the upper reverse border. NGC has graded just nine pieces in
grades above MS67 (1/10).(#7162)
600 1885-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. Partially prooflike fields highlight the
devices on this attractive Gem. Untoned, minimally abraded, and
appropriately defined. Difficult to acquire any finer.(#7164)
601 1886 MS67 NGC. CAC. This fully brilliant Superb Gem has
no evidence of toning on either side. It is sharply struck with
essentially pristine surfaces and frosty luster. NGC has only certified
12 finer examples of the date.(#7166)
Deep Mirror Prooflike 1886 Morgan, MS66
602 1886 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The 1886 is plentiful
in Mint State if cartwheel luster is desired. But those who seek
dazzling DMPL examples face a much more difficult task. Here is
a sharply struck and virtually brilliant Premium Gem with well
preserved and prominently reflective fields. Population: 25 in 66
Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (1/10). (#97167)
603 1887/6 MS65 NGC. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. The lower
curved remnants of a 6 are visible below the 7. This overdate was
discovered in the mid-1970s. Dazzling luster emanates from each
side of this well-struck Gem example, and faint hints of light tan
are occasionally seen under magnification. A few minor marks are
well within the parameters of the grade designation. Census: 66 in
65, 5 finer (1/10). (#7174)
Elusive 1887/6 VAM-2 Dollar, MS65 Prooflike
604 1887/6 MS65 Prooflike NGC. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. Only
a few years ago, the grading services had never seen an MS65
or finer example of the 1887 over 6 Morgan dollar. Today, such
Gem pieces are still seldom encountered, especially with prooflike
surfaces like this piece. It is fully brilliant with no evidence of
toning, save for faint champagne color on the reverse. Splendid
prooflike fields contrast nicely with the lustrous devices. Census:
22 in 65 Prooflike, 1 finer (1/10). (#7175)
605 1887/6-0 MS63 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. A faint trace
of the 6 shows to the lower right of the 7. Lustrous, essentially
untoned surfaces reveal grade-defining obverse marks. Well
impressed save for the centers.(#7178)
606 1887/6-0 MS63 ANACS. VAM-3. A Top 100 variety. This is
the highly-collectible New Orleans overdate variety of 1887. The
present coin has brilliant silver luster with a lovely frame of gold
toning near the borders.(#7178)
Scarce 1887/6-0 Dollar, MS64
607 1887/6-0 MS64 PCGS. CAC. VAM-3. A Top 100 variety. The
overdate feature was not discovered until 1972, and then only after
the P-mint overdate had been discovered the year before. This is a
later die state that shows just the faintest trace of the 6 to the right
of the 7. The surfaces are brilliant and exude thick, satiny mint
luster. The centers are a bit lightly struck. Population: 97 in 64, 1
finer (1/10). (#7178)

1887-S MS65 PCGS. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. Although a
few abrasions are present, the frosty and fully lustrous silver surfaces
have traces of peripheral gold and iridescent toning on the obverse
with deeper toning on the reverse. PCGS has only certified 20
finer pieces (1/10).(#7180)
1887- S MS65 NGC. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. The mintmark
is prominently repunched within the upper loop. For a Redfield
dollar (we assume it is), this is an impressive 1887-S. The surfaces
lack the usually heavy abrasions associated with this million-piece
hoard. Brilliant throughout, the fields are bright and semiprooflike.
A high-end MS65 example of this better-date Redfield issue.
(#7180)
1888 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. In spite of its generous
mintage Deep Mirror Prooflike examples are difficult to locate,
especially in Gem condition. This is a brilliant example that has
satiny devices that contrast noticeably against the deeply mirrored
fields. Fully struck. Population: 41 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 10
finer (1/10).
From The Classic Collection. (#97183)
1888 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. A fantastically
mirrored Gem that, if not for striking weakness at the hair over
Liberty’s ear, might be mistaken for a true proof. Light splashes of
milky haze visit otherwise untoned surfaces. Census: 27 in 65 Deep
Mirror Prooflike, 10 finer (12/09).(#97183)
1888- 0 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Housed in a green-
label PCGS holder is this impressive near-Gem Morgan dollar
with fully and deeply mirrored silver fields around frosty and highly
lustrous devices. The design motifs are well detailed, save for slight
weakness over Liberty’s ear as always. The surfaces have trivial and
inconsequential abrasions.
From The Classic Collection. (#97185)
1888-0 Doubled Die Obverse AU50 ANACS. VAM-4. A Top
100 Variety. This obverse doubled die variety has sharp doubling
on Liberty’s profile, including the lips, and it is known as the “Hot
Lips” variety. This light silver piece has peripheral lemon-yellow
toning with satiny surfaces and luster. (#7308)
1888-0 Doubled Die Obverse AU50 NGC. VAM-4. A Top 100
Variety. The famous “Hot Lips” VAM with prominent die doubling
on Liberty’s profile. A lightly circulated and nearly untoned
example with faint marks near the right-side stars and the D in
UNITED.(#7308)
1888- S MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Both sides exhibit
dazzling field reflectivity, and this brilliant and lower mintage
Morgan dollar has a splendidly preserved reverse. A few trivial
hairlines beneath the chin, and the lower cheek has faint mint-
made roller marks.(#97187)
1889 MS66 PCGS. Whispers of light gold on the reverse are
visible under magnification, and a well directed strike imparts
strong definition to the design elements. Lustrous surfaces are
devoid of significant marks. PCGS has certified just four coins finer
(1/10).(#7188)
1889- CC VF25 PCGS. Strong green and gold influences visit
otherwise light gray surfaces. While Liberty’s portrait shows a
number of abrasions, the rest of this moderately worn Carson City
coin is relatively clean.(#7190)
1889-CC—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. XF Details. Here is
an excellent opportunity for the collector to acquire the coveted
1889-CC Morgan, the rarest date in the Carson City series. Perhaps
cleaned, it has pleasing medium gray surfaces and a fully natural
appearance. (#7190)
Choice XF 1889-CC Dollar
619 1889-CC XF45 ANACS. One of several challenging later Carson
City dollar dates, as well as one more likely to be found in worn
condition rather than Mint State. This example must have spent
only a brief time in circulation, since its moderately abraded surfaces
retain considerable original luster. Light green-gold peripheral tints
yield to pale silver-gray at the centers. (#7190)
Popular 1889-CC Morgan, XF45
620 1889-CC XF45 ANACS. A pleasing 1889-CC Morgan dollar
with light gold and gray toning on each side. Only moderate wear
is evident on the high points of the devices, while the fields retain
considerable luster. The ‘89-CC is the single rarest Carson City
Mint Morgan dollar and it is always in demand regardless of the
grade. (#7190)
Desirable Gem 1889-0 Silver Dollar
621 1889-0 MS65 PCGS. The 1889-0 is relatively available in
typical Mint State, but Gems are surprisingly, due to the usual
culprits of bagmarks, dull luster, and indifferent strikes. The present
example is free from all such deficiencies, since it boasts a good
strike, dazzling luster, and remarkably smooth surfaces. A coin that
must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. (#7192)
622 1889-S MS65 PCGS. This highly lustrous Gem displays golden-
orange coloration at the margins. A nicely struck piece with light
grazes. Housed in a green label holder. PCGS has seen only 62
pieces finer (12/09).(#7194)
623 1889-S MS65 PCGS. Ebullient luster endows both sides of this
appropriately struck Gem. Essentially untoned and revealing just
few grade-consistent marks. The ‘89-S becomes difficult to acquire
any finer. (#7194)
624 1889-S MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. Nearly untoned
surfaces exhibit considerable flash and well struck design elements.
Minor grazes limit the grade. Census: 17 in 63 Deep Mirror
Prooflike, 15 finer (12/09).(#97195)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
625 1890-CC MS64 PCGS. Frosty and lustrous with brilliant silver
surfaces. The MS64 grade level provides an optimum collecting
opportunity for the advanced collector.(#7198)
Semireflective 1890-CC Dollar, MS65
A Well-Produced CC Dollar
626 1890-CC MS65 PCGS. This issue is not rare in Gem condition,
but, like many of its Carson City counterparts, it is decidedly scarce
at this grade level considering its original mintage of 2.3 million
pieces. That is not because of poor production standards; it is likely
that more coins were released into circulation in the western states
than would have occurred with Philadelphia or New Orleans Mint
coins. This Gem is well struck and nicely preserved, with just a few
shallow marks on Liberty’s cheek, and attractive russet-gold toning
near the peripheries that increases the coin’s overall eye appeal.
(#7198)
627 1890-CC MS63 Prooflike NGC. Here is a wonderful prooflike
example with fully mirrored fields and boldly detailed, satiny
devices. The depth of the mirrored fields falls just short of the Deep
Mirror Prooflike designation on this delightful, champagne toned
example. (#7199)
Brilliant 1890-CC Morgan, MS65 Prooflike
628 1890-CC MS65 Prooflike PCGS. This Carson City dollar
approaches a Deep Mirror Prooflike designation, since the glassy
fields are blatantly reflective. The devices are lightly frosted and
provide obvious contrast. Splendidly preserved and well struck.
An exceptional example of this scarce and much collected issue.
Population: 14 in 65 Prooflike, 0 finer (1/10). (#7199)
Elusive 1890-CC Dollar, MS65 Prooflike
629 1890-CC MS65 Prooflike NGC. A gorgeous prooflike example
of the 1890-CC Morgan dollar, a rather plentiful issue in the
market place. This piece is fully brilliant with incredible silver
surfaces and no evidence of toning. The strike is sharp and the
field/design contrast is strong. Census: 6 in 65 Prooflike, 1 finer
(1/10). (#7199)
630 1890-CC MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Both sides of
this primarily silver-white coin offer amazing reflectivity. Scattered
cloudy toning elements take on occasional gold-orange hues in
parts of the lightly abraded fields.(#97199)
Flashy MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike 1890-CC Morgan
631 1890-CC MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-3, R.4. The
90 in the date is nicely repunched. Prominently reflective fields
provide significant contrast with the luminous eagle and portrait.
A brilliant and nicely struck Carson City dollar that is scarcer in
Uncirculated grades than its mintage of 2.3 million might suggest.
(#97199)
Captivating MS64 Deep Prooflike
1890-CC Morgan Dollar
632 1890-CC MS64 Deep Prooflike NGC. Outstanding mirrors and
definition on the frosted devices. The interiors of this near-Gem
present a virtually black-and-white effect, though the margins
show evidence of blue-violet and golden-tan toning. Rare any finer
as a Deep Prooflike, with just seven such coins known to NGC
(1/10). (#97199)
633 1891 MS63 Deep Mirror Proof like PCGS. Untoned surfaces yield
pleasing field-motif variance and are lightly abraded. Generally
well struck. Population: 31 in 63 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 17 finer
(1/10).(#97205)
634 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. Pleasing luster endows the untoned
surfaces of this near-Gem. Nicely struck, with just a few minor
marks that define the grade. A linear abrasion on the eagle’s breast
is mentioned for complete accuracy. (#7 206)
635 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. CAC. Splashes of golden-orange patina
are more extensive and deeper on the obverse where they are joined
by slivers of purple and electric-blue at the margins. This well
struck piece reveals a few grade-consistent marks.(#7206)
636 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. CAC. This is a highly lustrous and fully
brilliant near-Gem with bold design details and exceptional mint
frost. The surfaces are smooth with few marks of any sort. A highly
attractive piece for the grade. (#7 206)
637 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. CAC. A splendid Choice Mint
State 1891-CC Morgan dollar with frosty silver luster beneath
intermingled splashes of rainbow toning on the obverse. The
reverse is fully brilliant with only a trace of peripheral gold outside
the legend. (#7206)
638 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. CAC. Sharply struck, including excellent
detail in the hair over Liberty’s ear and on the breast feathers.
Lustrous, untoned surfaces reveal a few minor grazes.(#7206)

639 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. The “Spitting
Eagle” VAM, which apparently comprised much of the GSA
holdings for the ‘91-CC. Vibrant luster sweeps this stone-gray and
almond-gold near-Gem.(#7206)
Sharply Defined 1891-CC Gem Dollar
640 1891-CC MS65 NGC. The 1891-CC is readily available through
near-Gem but can only be located with patience in Gem condition,
and is extremely difficult in finer grades. This sharply defined
MS65 specimen displays pleasing luster emanating from color-free,
minimally abraded surfaces. (#7206)
641 1891-CC MS64 Prooflike PCGS. A well executed strike delivers
strong definition to the design elements that are highlighted by the
prooflike fields. Untoned surfaces reveal some light marks, more so
on the obverse, that deny Gem status. PCGS has graded only 13
pieces finer (1/10).(#7207)
642 1892 MS64 Prooflike PCGS. This near-Gem offering is almost
color-free, save for a few wisps of localized reddish-tan. Well struck
and minimally abraded. A planchet defect on Liberty’s neck does
not detract in the least. Prooflike examples are rarely found any
finer. Population: 22 in 64 Prooflike, 3 finer (12/09).(#7213)
643 1892-CC MS62 NGC. The lustrous, untoned surfaces of this
CC-mint representative exhibit crisply struck design features,
including the hair over Liberty’s ear. Scattered light to moderate
abrasions, more so on the obverse, limit the grade.(#7214)
644 1892-CC MS62 AN ACS. VAM-2. A minor variety with the
second C in the mintmark touching the wreath. Solidly struck
with minimal patina save for hints of gold-orange around the rims.
(#7214)
645 1892-CC MS63 NGC. Splashes of cobalt-blue, lavender, and
gold-orange patina gravitate to the borders of this well struck
Select specimen. Light surface and rim marks limit the grade.
(#7214)
646 1892-CC MS63 PCGS. Generally well struck with lustrous,
untoned, lightly abraded surfaces. Nice eye appeal for an MS63.
(#7214)
647 1892-CC MS63 PCGS. Peripheral blushes of tan and medium-
gray visit this otherwise essentially silver-white Carson City
Morgan dollar. Scattered light abrasions on the cheek affect the
technical grade more than the eye appeal.(#7214)
648 1892-CC MS63 PCGS. Yellow-gold toning gravitates to the
reverse margins of this lustrous, Select CC-mint Morgan. Well
struck and exhibiting nice eye appeal despite scattered light grazes.
(#7214)
649 1892-S AU50 PCGS. Light silver-gray surfaces retain traces of
luster in the recessed areas. Both sides are quite clean for a coin
having seen some circulation. The ‘92-S is difficult to locate in
Mint State grades.(#7218)
Scarce AU58 1892-S Dollar
651 1892-S AU58 PCGS. Most of the 1.2 million 1892-S Morgan
dollars entered the channels of commerce within a decade or two
of striking. This is evident from the large number of circulated
examples certified by PCGS and NGC. Mint State coins are
quite rare, however. The two services have graded roughly 110
Uncirculated pieces, most in the lower levels thereof.
The present scarce near-Mint State coin displays considerable
luster on its silver-gray surfaces imbued with wisps of light tan.
Sharp definition characterizes the design features, despite a bit of
wear on the hair at Liberty’s ear and on the breast feathers. A few
light circulation marks do not detract. (#7218)
652 1893 MS64 NGC. Occasional splashes of peripheral orange-gold
are joined by wisps of cobalt-blue and lavender at the obverse
margins. Nicely struck and showing just a few minor grade-defining
marks.(#7220)
653 1893-CC VF35 NGC. Whispers of orange-gold patina visit the
light gray surfaces of this Choice VL. Relatively clean surfaces and
well defined.(#7222)
650 1892-S AU50 AN ACS. VAM-8. A Hit List 40 variety. Doubled
and tripled hair strands are evident on the obverse of this elusive
variety. Considerable luster remains on each side, with light silver-
gray surfaces and traces of iridescent toning.(#7218)

Reflective 1893-CC Morgan, MS62
VAM-5, Clashed Dies
654 1893-CC MS62 ANACS. VAM-5, Clashed Dies. Noticeable die
clashing is visible in the fields near the design motifs on both sides
of this brilliant Mint State example. This piece has bright silver
luster with no toning on either side. The fields are faintly reflective
with a hint of cameo contrast visible. (#7222)
Popular 1893-CC Dollar, MS63
655 1893-CC MS63 PCGS. The 1893-CC is the final Carson City
emission, and is also among the scarcest Morgan issues from that
facility. This lustrous and boldly impressed silver dollar has minimal
toning and only a moderate number of grazes on the portrait. The
fields are well preserved. (#7222)
Appealing 1893-CC Dollar, MS61 Proof like
656 1893-CC MS61 Prooflike PCGS. Housed in a green-label PCGS
holder, this fully brilliant and prooflike Mint State piece is an
excellent representative of the final Carson City Mint Morgan
dollar. It has wonderful eye appeal with essentially untoned
silver surfaces. Population: 61 in 61 Prooflike, 92 finer (1/10).
(#7223)
657 1893-0 MS60 ANACS. VAM-2. The mintmark is tilted to the
right. This satiny Mint State dollar has mostly light silver surfaces
with lovely peripheral iridescence on both sides. The devices are
frosty and the fields are satiny. (#7224)
Low Mintage 1893-0 Dollar, MS62
658 1893-0 MS62 PCGS. The small mintage of 300,000 pieces
underscores the importance and popularity of this issue with
Morgan dollar collectors. This piece is brilliant and displays the
usual satiny mint luster. As one would expect from an MS62, there
are numerous small to mid-sized abrasions (most of which are on
the obverse) that explain the grade. The strike is well brought up
but not full, as usual. Each side is brilliant, and the reverse fields
display slight reflectivity. (#7224)
Challenging MS63 1893-0 Morgan
659 1893-0 MS63 PCGS. The 1893-0 is the lowest mintage New
Orleans Morgan dollar, and examples are very scarce in attractive
Mint State grades. This lustrous representative has the expected
incompleteness of strike at the centers, but the fields are splendidly
smooth, and the cheek displays only wispy marks. A few slender
russet streaks on the lower left obverse deny full brilliance.
(#7224)
660 1893-S — Rim Damage, Cleaned—NGC. Good Details. The light
gray surfaces of this key date piece display faint hairlines and a few
small to moderate rim dings. Appropriately defined.(#7226)
Desirable 1893-S Morgan, Good 6
661 1893-S Good 6 ANACS. Although well-worn, this piece is
entirely original with deep gray fields and gray-gold devices. The
rims are completely intact, and the obverse diagnostics remain
visible. A fully desirable piece for the grade, and in fact sharper
than the ANACS grade suggests. (#7226)
662 1893-S — Environmental Damage — NGC. VG Details. A
significantly worn example of the key date which shows extensive
environmental effects in the gunmetal-black fields and on the
more lightly toned devices. Despite the environmental effects
and a number of scattered abrasions, this is a readily collectible
example. (#7226)

Always Popular 1893-S Dollar, VG 8
663 1893-S VG8 PCGS. Scarce in all grades and pursued by collectors
in all grades. This VG example has light, nearly brilliant surfaces,
quite unlike the dark circulated coins often seen. Each side is
peppered with numerous small abrasions, but the only mark worthy
of mention is a diagonal abrasion on the eagle’s right (facing) wing.
There is also a horizontal planchet flaw and grease stain across the
bridge of Liberty’s nose. (#7226)
Desirable VG10 1893-S Dollar
664 1893-S VG10 ANACS. A significantly worn yet fundamentally
problermfree representative of this famous key-date Morgan dollar,
more accessible than the perhaps more-abundant VF examples for
which the issue has become famous. Considerable lavender-blue
color drapes the reverse, while the obverse is primarily gold-gray.
Scattered abrasions are light and consistent with the amount of
wear present. (#7226)
Prized 1893-S Dollar, Fine 12
665 1893-S Fine 12 PCGS. A lovely Fine example of this famously
low-mintage San Francisco Morgan dollar. Medium-gray surfaces
show deeper hues in the protected areas of the devices and along
the rims, creating strong and pleasing contrast. A few small digs
at Liberty’s lower jaw are grade-consistent and expected for a
circulated coin. (#7226)
Excellent Choice XF 1893-S Dollar
666 1893-S XF45 PCGS. Deep bluish-gray patination displays subtle
champagne and gold undertones, and the design elements are well
defined. Close inspection reveals no significant contact marks.
These attributes add up to making this Choice XF example an
excellent candidate for a high grade Morgan dollar collection.
(#7226)
Nearly Brilliant 1893-S Dollar, XF45
667 1893-S XF45 PCGS. The diagnostic diagonal die scratch at the
top of the T in LIBERTY is clearly evident (with a magnifier, of
course). Light friction is seen over the high points on each side,
and the abrasions present are remarkably light. Each side also
shows just the slightest evidence of golden toning, otherwise the
surfaces are brilliant. (#7226)
668 1894 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests
Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned, smoothed, and
repaired. Liberty’s cheek and the nearby field are smoothed, and
both sides are a bit bright from a cleaning. Nonetheless, a minimally
circulated example of this low mintage key date.(#7228)
669 1894 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests
Cleaned as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of an XF specimen that has been cleaned. The stone-gray
surfaces are mildly subdued, perhaps from exposure to baking soda,
and a hair-thin line has darkly toned near the left border of the
eagle’s breast. Many collectors would nonetheless be pleased with
this well detailed and low mintage Morgan dollar. (#7 228)
670 1894 XF45 PCGS. After the 1893-S and the proof-only 1895, the
honor of the third-lowest-mintage Morgan dollar goes to the 1894.
The present piece features deep steel-gray and tan-brown toning.
Thorough examination with a loupe locates a few moderate marks,
near IN GOD and on the right obverse field.(#7228)
671 1894 XF45 PCGS. Both sides of this Choice XF Morgan are
essentially untoned and display hints of luster in the recessed
areas. A nicely defined and minimally abraded piece. One of the
lowest-mintage Morgan dollars (110,000 circulation strikes).
(#7228)
672 1894 XF45 ANACS. Soft gold peripheral patination is joined
on the reverse margins by light purple. Well defined and lightly
marked. This is a nice example of this key date.(#7228)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
673 1894—Artificially Toned—AN ACS. AU50 Details. This low
mintage key date silver dollar has alternating blushes of faded
cherry-red and olive-gold toning. Thin marks are noted above
ONE and near the D in DOLLAR. Ample luster shimmers across
the lightly circulated design. (#7228)
674 1894 AU53 NGC. A pleasing example of this key date Morgan.
Soft purple and gold patina can be found at the margins. Minimally
abraded and well defined.(#7228)
675 1894 AU55 PCGS. An important rarity in the Morgan series,
the 1894 ranks as the second rarest business strike from the
Philadelphia Mint, with an original mintage of just 110,000 coins.
This Choice AU piece has light rub, but retains nearly all of its
original brilliance.(#7228)
676 1894 AU58 NGC. The key date among business strike Philadelphia
Mint Morgans, the 1894 had a mintage of only 100,000 coins, and
few of those survive today. This is a popular date at the AU58 level,
combining quality and price into a good value. Only a trace of wear
is evident on the frosty silver surfaces. Hints of peripheral gold
toning complete the picture.(#7228)
677 1894 AU58 PCGS. A whisper of friction on the eagle’s breast
confirms a momentary stint in circulation, but the essentially
brilliant surfaces still shimmer with cartwheel luster. Minor field
grazes and reeding marks are consistent with the near-Mint level.
(#7228)
Elusive 1894 Morgan, MS61
678 1894 MS61 AN ACS. VAM-1. The key Philadelphia Mint issue,
and always in demand in all Mint State grades. This specimen has
bright silver surfaces with frosty luster and subtle traces of golden
toning along the borders. It is nicely defined with surfaces that
suggest a higher numerical grade. (#7228)
Challenging MS63 1894 Dollar
679 1894 MS63 PCGS. Due to its low mintage, the 1894 is contested
in all grades. The scarce issue perhaps provides the most value
in the MS63 grade, since an MS64 will set back the buyer an
additional $3,000 to $4,000. The present example is untoned and
lustrous with an above average strike. Paint obverse marks limit the
grade, but not the eye appeal. (#7228)
680 1894-0 MS62 AN ACS. VAM-5. Minute doubling is evident
below the upper serif of the 1. This pleasing piece has fully brilliant
silver luster with traces of toning. The strike is typical with central
design weakness on both sides.(#7230)
681 1894-0 MS60 Prooflike ANACS. An appreciably reflective
piece with gold and violet peripheral toning around silver-white
centers. Significantly abraded throughout but with better eye
appeal than the MS60 grade might suggest. Housed in a small-
format holder. (#7 231)
682 1894-S MS64 NGC. Essentially untoned surfaces display
semiprooflike fields that highlight the sharply struck design
elements. Trivial grazes keep from full Gem.(#7232)
Charming Near-Mint 1895-0 Dollar
683 1895-0 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Impressively lustrous with only
modest friction visible at the softly struck high points. The luster is
virtually intact, the surfaces nearly brilliant save for arcs of orange
along parts of the rims. Paint abrasions are consistent with a brief
stint in circulation. Overall, a strong example of this popular lower-
mintage issue. (#7236)
Lovely 1895-S Dollar, MS61
684 1895-S MS61 ANACS. Although the surfaces have myriad
abrasions that are consistent with the grade, this is a lovely 1895-S
Morgan with brilliant silver luster, sharp design motifs, reflective
fields, and splashes of pale gold toning on each side. The 1895-S
is the only usually seen Morgan dollar of the date in Mint State
grades. (#7238)
685 1896-0 MS60 ANACS. Although both sides have a number
of small abrasions expected at the grade level, this piece has full
silver luster with splashes of iridescent toning on both sides.
(#7242)
Vibrant Select 1896-S Silver Dollar
686 1896-S MS63 PCGS. Lilac, gunmetal-gray, and apricot
toning consumes the obverse, while the reverse has only a hint
of tan patina. Lustrous with a smooth reverse and only minor
incompleteness of strike at the centers. Liberty’s cheek and neck
are abraded, although no marks are obtrusive. (#7244)

Lovely 1896-S Morgan Dollar, MS63
Deep Mirror Near-Gem 1898-S Dollar
687 1896-S MS63 AN ACS. VAM-6. The 1896-0 and S Morgan
dollars are both condition rarities in Mint State. Of the two issues,
the 1896-S is somewhat more available but still in high demand,
especially as the numeric grade increases. This lovely example
offers full mint brilliance, frosty luster, sharp design definition, and
attractive peripheral gold toning. (#7244)
693 1898-S MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Orange-red
and ocean-blue dominate the obverse margin, but the rest of this
flashy near-Gem is virtually untoned. The reverse is beautifully
undisturbed by contact, while the portrait and the field near the P
in PLURIBUS display moderate marks. Population: 33 in 64 Deep
Mirror Prooflike, 7 finer (1/10). (#97257)
Lustrous MS62 1901 Morgan
692 1898-S MS65 Prooflike PCGS. Prooflike specimens of the 1898-
S Morgan dollar are very rare at the Gem level. The present coin is
a well struck specimen, with only slight softness on the hair above
the ear and the eagle’s breast. The flashy fields provide moderate
contrast with the evenly frosty devices. Brilliant throughout.
Population: 5 in 65 Prooflike, 0 finer (10/09). (#7257)
697 1901 MS62 PCGS. Although struck from the same facility
and only two years later than the 1899, there is a tremendous
discrepancy in high grade survival rates for the two issues. The
low mintage 1899 is plentiful in MS64, while the 1901 is very
rare in such quality. In fact, any Uncirculated 1901 silver dollar
is desirable. This is a lustrous, sharply struck, and lightly toned
caramel-gold and steel-blue example that has surprisingly few
marks. (#7272)
688
689 1898 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The 1898 is an
unusual late-date dollar to locate with prooflike fields and in high
grades. The fields on this piece are exceptionally deep, which set
up noticeable contrast against the satiny devices. The surfaces are
nearly brilliant with just a hint of peripheral toning. The devices
are sharply struck throughout. Population: 63 in 65 Deep Mirror
Prooflike, 12 finer (1/10).
From The Classic Collection. (#97253)
690 1898-0 MS67 NGC. A stunning Superb Gem of this hoard issue.
The bright, satiny surfaces are sharply struck and the centers are
brilliant with golden toning around the rims. An exceptionally
pleasing type coin.(#7254)
691 1898-S MS64 Prooflike PCGS. Considerable “flash” greets
the observer of this color-free S-mint Morgan. Nicely struck and
revealing a few grade-consistent marks. Population: 39 in 64
Prooflike, 5 finer (12/09).(#7257)
Prooflike Gem 1898-S Morgan
694 1899-S MS66 PCGS. CAC. Dazzling luster endows this wonderful
Premium Gem, complementing its well struck design motifs, and
untoned surfaces are impeccably preserved. Great overall eye
appeal. David Bowers (2006) suggests that more than 1 million of
the 2.5 million mintage was probably melted. (#7262)
695 1900-O/CC MS64 PCGS. CAC. VAM-11. Bold remnants of
the former CC mintmark are visible on both sides of the O. This
fully brilliant silver dollar has no evidence of toning on either side.
The strike is bold and the surfaces are exceptional for the grade.
(#7268)
696 1901 MS61 AN ACS. VAM-19. The Discovery Coin according to
the AN ACS holder. The variety has Liberty’s upper lip minutely
doubled. The E in UNITED is also slightly doubled. This piece
is brilliant and lustrous with satiny silver surfaces and faint gold
toning at the border.(#7272)
1897-0 MS62 AN ACS. A fully brilliant and lustrous example of
this conditionally rare Morgan dollar. The 1897-0 is normally only
encountered in circulated grades, and all Mint State pieces are in
high demand. At first glance, this piece appears to be much finer
than the numerical grade assigned. (#7 248)
Dazzling 1899-S Dollar, MS66
74
Please visit HA.com to view other collectibles auctions
A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
698 1901 MS62 PCGS. Light chestnut-brown enriches this lustrous
and powerfully struck silver dollar. Marks are surprisingly few for
the MS62 level. Despite a mintage of nearly 7 million pieces,
the 1901 is increasingly difficult to secure in advancing Mint
State grades. AU examples are fairly available, which suggests
that bags were released into circulation well into the 20th century.
(#7272)
699 1901 Doubled Die Reverse XF45 AN ACS. VAM A. A Top 100
Variety. Known as the Shifted Eagle variety, this is a wonderful
doubled die reverse with the tail feathers, wings, and beak all
clearly doubled. A pleasing Choice XF, this example has desirable
light gray surfaces with splashes of gold toning. (#7302)
Appealing 1901-S Dollar, MS65
700 1901-S MS65 PCGS. Fairly scarce within the context of S-mint
Morgans from the turn of the century. The lustrous surfaces of this
Gem are essentially untoned and exhibit relatively well impressed
design elements. A few light roller marks are visible on the obverse.
Pleasing overall eye appeal. (#7276)
Patinated Gem 1901-S Morgan
701 1901-S MS65 NGC. Purple, gold, and electric-blue coloration
gravitates to the margins of this well struck Gem, more prominent
on the obverse. Some insignificant obverse marks are noted. An
elusive Morgan dollar issue, as is the case with the other S-mints
from its decade. Census: 86 in 65, 7 finer (1/10). (#7276)
702 1903 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Apricot toning graces the
reverse, but the obverse is virtually brilliant. A well struck and satiny
Gem. Scarce in Prooflike, particularly with such clean surfaces.
Population: 29 in 65 Prooflike, 5 finer (1/10).(#7285)
703 1903-S AU53 PCGS. Silver-gray surfaces show traces of luster in
the recesses. Generally well defined and showing just a few small
marks. (#7288)
704 1903-S AU53 NGC. Whispers of light tan color are noted on the
reverse this lightly worn S-mint example. Traces of luster are visible
in the recesses of the remarkably clean surfaces.(#7288)
Rim-toned 1903-S Dollar, MS62
705 1903-S MS62 ANACS. VAM-4. A satiny Mint State piece
with mostly brilliant silver surfaces that are framed by peripheral
gold and iridescent toning on each side. Minor surface marks,
especially those on the cheek, prevent a higher grade. An excellent
combination of grade and value for the budget-minded collector.
(#7288)
Attractive Gem 1904 Morgan Dollar
706 1904 MS65 PCGS. A lovely MS65 representative of the last
Morgan dollar issue struck at Philadelphia before 1921. It is well
struck with strongly lustrous silver-white centers and faint elements
of cream and light green at parts of the rims. Minimally marked
and undeniably appealing. PCGS has certified 14 finer pieces
(1/10). (#7290)
707 1904-S MS61 ANACS. VAM-2. The chin is minutely doubled.
A pleasing Mint State piece with brilliant, untoned silver surfaces.
Faint traces of gold toning are noted on each side, giving this piece
additional character. (#7294)
Brilliant Choice 1904-S Dollar
708 1904-S MS64 PCGS. San Francisco silver dollars from the first
decade of the 20th century are known for their scarcity in Mint
State. The 1904'S is no exception. Perhaps Uncirculated bags were
last in and first out of the Treasury vault, and participated in the
Pittman Act melts. This essentially untoned example has a clean
cheek and a well preserved reverse. A few wispy grazes are noted on
the field near the profile. (#7294)

711 1921-S MS66 NGC. The 1921 -S is an issue that was formerly
little distinguished, if at all, from its P- and D-mint counterparts.
In the last couple of decades, however, it has come to the fore as a
condition rarity in the higher Mint State grades. This satiny piece
has splendid surfaces with plum and gold accents near the rims. A
sharp and pleasing Premium Gem. Census: 53 in 66, 1 finer (1/10).
(#7300)
714
1881 PR64 NGC. Fully struck with lovely, smoky purple-violet
toning on both sides and a mild degree of cameo contrast on the
obverse, where Liberty’s portrait is lightly frosted. One of only 975
pieces struck in proof format this year. The 1881 Morgan dollar
proofs are known to be well produced and attractive, and this near-
Gem is no exception. (#7316)

PROOF MORGAN DOLLARS
Gorgeous 1878 Eight Tailfeathers Dollar, PR66
Colorful 1879 Dollar, PR64
709 1904-S MS65 PCGS. The 1904'S is a highly respected, late-
date issue that has surprisingly few high grade survivors out of
the mintage of 2.3 million pieces. Apparently this issue was not
available for sale to the public in bag quantity, except for a brief
offering through Los Angeles banks in the early 1950s. This piece
displays the usual softly frosted mint luster and both sides are toned
to varying degrees in rose-golden shades (deeper on the obverse,
less so on the reverse). The striking details are above average, but
not complete in the centers. Lightly abraded. (#7294)
Brilliant MS65 1904-S Dollar
712 1878 8TF PR66 PCGS. VAM-14.3. Deeply toned across both
sides in gorgeous shades of rose-gray and mottled forest-green. This
Premium Gem proof, from the first Morgan dollar type, is crisply
and fully struck on all design elements. Excellent preservation
has kept the piece from acquiring any unwanted hairlines or
bothersome contact marks. From a small mintage of just 500 coins,
and highly desirable to type collectors. Population: 9 in 66, 1 finer
(1/10). (#7311)
710 1904-S MS65 PCGS. The untoned surfaces of this scarce S-mint
dollar allow full appreciation of the uncommonly pronounced soft
mint frost seen on this piece. The striking definition is less-than-
complete over the ear of Liberty as well as on the eagle’s breast,
as one would expect. A loupe is required to see the few tiny marks
that are on this Gem, otherwise the surfaces appear blemish-free.
(#7294)
713 1879 PR64 PCGS. Deep cobalt-blue patination occupies the
obverse of this near-Gem proof Morgan, accented with wisps of
reddish-gold, while the reverse consists of deep purple and cobalt-
blue. Sharply struck except for softness in the obverse center. Both
sides appear to be devoid of significant marks. Population: 83 in 64,
34 finer (1/10). (#7314)

Premium Gem Proof 1881 Morgan Dollar
715 1881 PR66 NGC. This Premium Gem has gleaming mirrors
beneath rich crazy-quilt patina. The obverse has subtle shifts
between gold, green, and blue shadings, while the reverse has
more overt turquoise, cobalt, magenta, and gold-orange elements.
Sharply struck and gorgeous. Census: 26 in 66, 18 finer (1/10).
(#7316)
Select Proof 1882 Morgan Dollar
716 1882 PR63 ANACS. At 1,100 specimens struck, the 1882 is one
of several Morgan dollar issues prized by proof type collectors. This
Select survivor has watery mirrors draped in dappled green and
gold-gray toning with deeper elements in arcs and patches along
the rims. Housed in a small-format ANACS holder. (#7317)
Brilliant 1883 Morgan, PR65
717 1883 PR65 NGC. This fully brilliant Gem proof is a coin of
exquisite beauty with no evidence of toning on either side. The
fields are fully and deeply mirrored framing the lustrous and
satiny devices with their incredibly sharp design details. This is
an important opportunity for type collector and specialist alike.
Census: 58 in 65, 36 finer (1/10). (#7318)
1888 Morgan Dollar, PR64
Rare Double-Punched Date
719 1888 PR64 NGC. Breen-5600. This proof variant is allegedly
rare (but how many collectors actually examine their proof dollars
for die varieties?). According to the BB reference, this double-
punched variety was discovered by Walter Breen in 1954. The
1 shows the most obvious signs of repunching, but when closely
examined all the other numerals show some evidence. The surfaces
are mostly oyster-gray with just a hint of golden patina around the
margins. Light hairlining explains the grade. The centers show
slight striking weakness from inadequate die spacing, a situation
that began in this year and continued until 1893. (#7323)
720 1891 PR62 PCGS. Champagne-gold, sky-blue, and bluish-purple
toning dominates this proof Morgan. A trifle softly struck at the
hair over the ear, as is often the case for this year’s proofs, with
scattered hairlines and a handful of contact marks.(#7326)
Attractive 1891 Dollar, PR64
721 1891 PR64 PCGS. A melange of sky-blue, orange-gold, and
forest-green patination assumes slightly deeper hues on the reverse
of this near-Gem Morgan proof. A well executed strike sharpens
the design elements, except for minor weakness in the obverse
center. This nicely preserved specimen resides in a green label
holder. (#7326)
718 1885 PR62 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Bold green-gold peripheral tints
give way to swirling cloud-gray and silver-blue tints through the
centers. Well struck with prominent mirrors, though significant
hairlines are noted through the left obverse field and elsewhere.
Population: 8 in 62 Cameo, 45 finer (12/09).(#87320)

Popular PR64 Cameo 1895 Dollar
722 1895 PR64 Cameo NGC. Following several years of heavy
Morgan dollar production, spurred by first the Bland-Allison
Act of 1878 and especially the Sherman Act in 1890, the
nation’s financial reserves were in crisis. The government had
radically overpaid for the silver used for striking the Morgan
dollars of the time, and a wrinkle in the Sherman Act—that
the government had to pay for the silver with paper money
convertible to gold—led to a precipitous drop in the nation’s
gold reserves. The Panic of 1893 wrecked hundreds of banks
and hundreds of thousands of households’ finances before
Congress repealed the Sherman Act that year, eliminating the
reserve-draining subsidy and the monthly influx of silver to be
minted into coin.
The years from 1893 to 1895 saw drastically reduced
Morgan dollar production; business strikes from those three
years combined do not come close to the 16.8 million pieces
coined at Philadelphia in 1890 alone. All Morgan dollars in
that date range are elusive at best, and two of the greatest
Morgan dollar rarities, the 1893-S and the 1895, are among
them. This is an example of the latter, a proof as always, since
not one of the 12,000 1895 business strike dollars listed in
official Mint Reports has ever turned up.
Both sides are appreciably contrasted, as most specimens
of this date came originally, with moderately frosted devices
offering a contrast to the mirrors. While the centers are
minimally toned, the fields offer gold-gray patina that deepens
close to the rims. Strong reflectivity with only a few minor
hairlines and marks to preclude an even finer designation.
Census: 34 in 64 Cameo, 49 finer (12/09). (#87330)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
723 1896 PR67 NGC. This Superb Gem proof has impressive cameo
contrast under sea-green, champagne, and rose toning on the
obverse, and deeper blue-green, violet, and turquoise toning
on the reverse. The depth of toning masks the contrast, so this
piece has no Cameo designation. Census: 18 in 67, 6 finer (1/10).
(#7331)
Contrasted 1899 Morgan, PR66
724 1899 PR66 NGC. CAC. Warm golden-tan patination bathes
both sides of this Premium Gem proof, accented with whispers of
electric-blue, lavender, and russet at the rims. An attentive strike
results in virtually complete definition on the design elements,
and impeccably preserved surfaces reveal a degree of field-motif
contrast, especially when rotated under a light source. Census: 25
in 66, 15 finer (1/10). (#7334)
1900 Morgan Dollar, PR67 Cameo
A Magnificent, Brilliant Coin
725 1900 PR67 Cameo NGC. This is a spectacular, turn-of-the-
century type coin whose surfaces appear to be unimprovable. Both
sides are completely white, which allows the viewer an unimpeded
view of the cameo effect between the frosted devices and deeply
mirrored fields. The only “flaw” we see is of Mint origin: A tiny bit
of porosity is in the field just below the letters U and N in UNUM.
Census: 13 in 67 Cameo, 7 finer (12/09). (#87335)
Incredible PR68 1903 Morgan Dollar
726 1903 PR68 NGC. While this late-date proof Morgan dollar has
limited field-to-device contrast, like the majority of its fellow
specimens, it offers exquisite preservation and eye appeal that
cannot be ignored. The fields are fantastically mirrored with golden
overtones that cover the obverse margins as well as most of the
reverse. Light but appreciable frost graces the portrait, and the
eagle on the reverse shows a similar, greater effect. The surfaces
are virtually perfect to the unaided eye. Tied with five others for
numerically finest in the combined certified population (12/09).
(#7338)
PEACE DOLLARS
727 1921 MS65 PCGS. CAC. A frosty Gem with fully brilliant and
lustrous silver surfaces that display faint traces of heather and
champagne toning. Central weakness is typical of all 1921 Peace
dollars.(#7356)
728 1921 MS65 NGC. VAM-1F, R.5. Struck from the same die pair
used to coin matte proofs. The variety is undesignated on the
NGC insert. Whispers of chestnut-gold visit this lightly toned and
lustrous Gem. The centers show moderate inexactness of strike,
unavoidable for the issue. Smooth overall with a couple of wispy
obverse grazes on the portrait and field. (#7356)
729 1921 MS65 PCGS. Softly detailed through the centers but
otherwise well struck, this first-year Peace dollar is luminous and
frosty. Light silver-white color overall with glimpses of peach and
tan near the rims.(#7356)

Splendid 1921 Peace Dollar, MS66
Scintillating Gem 1923-S Silver Dollar
734 1923-S MS65 NGC. The 1923-S is very common through near-
Gem but scarce in MS65 and extremely elusive any finer. Hints
of light tan-gold color adhere to the lustrous surfaces of this Gem
representative and an above average strike leaves relatively strong
definition on the design features. A few minute marks are noted on
each side. Census: 75 in 65, 1 finer (12/09). (#7362)
740 1925 MS67 NGC. A frosty and beautiful P-mint Peace dollar
with light green-gold toning gracing much of the fields and fresh
silver color prevailing on the well-defined central devices. Virtually
unavailable any better; NGC and PCGS have graded just two
numerically finer examples between them (1/10). (#7365)
737 1924-S MS64 NGC. VAM-1E, R.5. The obverse field is
inundated with wispy die polish lines, as made, that provide an
unusual textured appearance. The eagle has a prominent “shoulder
spike.” Lustrous and lightly toned with generally clean surfaces.
(#7364)
738 1924-S MS64 PCGS. Splashes of light golden-brown toning visit
the obverse and are more prominent on the reverse. A lustrous
and well struck coin with smooth fields and minor facial marks.
(#7364)
732 1922-S MS65 PCGS. Bright luster envelops both sides of this
Gem, and wisps of light tan on the reverse provide the only color.
Well struck and minimally abraded.(#7359)
733 1922-S MS65 AN ACS. Aside from a touch of the usual striking
softness in the centers, this brightly lustrous Gem is well-defined.
Brilliant throughout with deeply frosted surfaces.(#7359)
Outstanding MS67 1925 Dollar
730 1921 MS66 PCGS. A high grade example of this famous issue,
struck in high relief for circulation only in 1921. Splashes of
honey-gold and russet endow lustrous and lightly abraded surfaces.
The strike is certainly above average, although incomplete as are
all business strikes of the date. The chin and nose exhibit strike
doubling. PCGS and NGC combined have certified just 13 pieces
finer (1/10). (#7356)
Lustrous 1921 Peace Dollar, MS66
735 1923-S MS65 NGC. Attractively toned in peach-gold and sky-blue
tints. Lustrous and attentively struck with no conspicuous marks.
The 1923-S was struck in prodigious quantity but few were set aside,
unlike the much lower mintage 1921 Peace dollar. Encapsulated in
a prior generation holder, and essentially unobtainable any finer.
Census: 75 in 65, 1 finer (12/09). (#7362)
736 1924-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. The lustrous surfaces of this near-
Gem yield just an occasional whisper of light gold color and exhibit
well struck design features. Minor grazes deny Gem status. Housed
in a green label holder. (#7364)
731 1921 MS66 PCGS. Sunset-gold and gunmetal-blue toning endow
this satiny and virtually immaculate Premium Gem. The hair
over the ear and the portion of the wing just above the eagle’s
leg show some blending of detail, as customary for this lower
mintage issue. PCGS has certified a mere seven pieces finer (1/10).
(#7356)
Beautiful Gem 1924-S Dollar
Scarce MS65 1923-S Dollar
739 1924-S MS65 PCGS. Light chestnut-gold toning visits the
margins of this lustrous and sharply impressed Gem. Marks are
elusive to find, and the eye appeal is exemplary. The 1924-S is the
first branch mint issue of the series with a mintage of less than 2
million pieces. Population: 70 in 65, 5 finer (1/10). (#7364)

Remarkable 1925 Peace Dollar, MS6 7
741 1925 MS67 PCGS. Subtle champagne toning adds to the
character and aesthetic desirability of this Superb Gem 1925 Peace
dollar that ranks among the finest existing survivors. Only one coin
has ever received a higher PCGS grade. In fact, the MS68 PCGS
1925 Peace dollar and a similar grade 1924 are the only two coins
of any date that PCGS has certified at the grade level. This 1925 is
one of another 183 coins that they have certified as MS67, out of
a total population of more than 372,000 coins of the design. This
piece has satiny luster, pristine surfaces, and bold design features.
Population: 69 in 67, 1 finer (1/10). (#7365)
742 1926-S MS65 NGC. CAC. A condition rarity in finer grades,
with just 38 finer NGC certified examples recorded in over 20
years. This brilliant and untoned Gem has extraordinary surfaces
and incredible eye appeal. (#7369)
743 1926-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. Dazzling luster exudes from the
unpatinated, nicely preserved surfaces of this lovely Gem. The
design elements are well impressed. (#7369)
Die Doubled Gem 1927 Peace Dollar
744 1927 MS65 PCGS. CAC. VAM-3. The obverse is lightly die
doubled, most obviously on the TR in TRVST. Minor strike
doubling is also present. A well struck and lustrous Gem with a
hint of golden toning. The portrait and the left obverse field are
remarkably free from contact. A lower mintage issue. (#7370)
Gorgeous 1927 Peace Dollar, MS65
745 1927 MS65 PCGS. Light golden accents adorn the pale silver-gray
surfaces of this Peace dollar Gem. The strike is substantially above
average, and only a few wispy abrasions preclude an even finer
designation. This lower mintage Philadelphia issue is a formidable
condition rarity any better, with just five such pieces certified by
PCGS (12/09). (#7370)
Conditionally Scarce 1927-D Gem Dollar
746 1927-D MS65 NGC. The 1927-D is available through the near-
Gem level of preservation but becomes quite scarce in MS65.
Hints of barely discernible tan color visit the lustrous surfaces
of this Gem specimen, and a well executed strike imparts strong
definition to the design elements. Light, grade-consistent marks
detract minimally from the overall appeal. Census: 75 in 65, 3 finer
(12/09). (#7371)
Satiny 1927-D Peace Dollar, MS65
747 1927-D MS65 PCGS. The golden-russet toning is slight aside
from deeper shadings across the lower obverse periphery. A satiny
Gem that is well struck throughout the major devices. The cheek
is particularly free from abrasions. PCGS has certified only nine
pieces finer (1/10). (#7371)
748 1928 MS64 NGC. CAC. Hints of barely discernible gold-tan
color reside on the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem, and a well
executed strike sharpens the devices. Light marks preclude Gem
status. (#73 73)
749 1928 MS64 PCGS. A brilliant example of this popular, low-
mintage issue. The surfaces are dazzling and the striking details are
complete. (#73 73)
750 1928-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. The mint luster is amazingly bright
and thickly frosted, even for a San Francisco issue. Additionally,
each side is free from any noticeable abrasions. An impressive,
upper-end example of this popular S-mint Peace dollar.
(#7374)
751 1934-D MS65 NGC. Micro D. Strongly lustrous beneath subtle,
pleasing patina. The clean-cheeked obverse exhibits delicate gold-
gray shadings, while the reverse shows hints of pink and blue with a
touch of orange near the rims. A well struck Gem.(#73 76)

COMMEMORATIVE SILVER
752 1934-S MS62 PCGS. The lustrous surfaces of this key date 1934'
S representative display nearly indiscernible traces of gold-beige
and bluish-violet color under magnification. An impressive strike
leaves better definition than often seen on the central reverse. A
few light marks limit the grade. This issue is highly desirable in all
Mint State grades. (#7377)
Pleasing Near-Gem 1934-S Peace Dollar
753 1934-S MS64 PCGS. The 1934-S is the key to the Peace dollar
series in Mint State. Speckles of light gray patina run over the
lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem example. The design elements
are generally well impressed, save for the usual softness in the
centers. A scattering of grade-consistent marks do not detract from
the overall appeal. (#7377)
Toned Gem 1934-S Peace Dollar
754 1934-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. This Gem 1934-S Peace dollar is
one of the important condition rarities in the series, and a key-date
in all grades. The present piece has deep pearlescent luster with
hints of darker peripheral toning. PCGS has only certified 24 finer
examples of the 1934'S Peace dollar (1/10). (#7377)
755 1893 Isabella Quarter MS65 PCGS. Light to medium gray
patination is joined on the reverse with lime-green, violet, and
orange. Lustrous surfaces exhibit well struck devices and are nicely
preserved. (#9220)
756 1893 Isabella Quarter MS65 NGC. Considerable liquid
reflectivity filters through the veils of toning on each side. Cherry-
gold and ruby hues mingle with violet, and a few streaks of the last
color stand alone at the right obverse.(#9220)
757 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS62 NGC. DuVall 1-B, a plentiful
variety. About half of all Lafayette dollars are from the 1-B die
pair. This pleasing Mint State example will appeal to a number
of collectors who desire the issue without spending the vast sums
required for a Gem or finer piece. This specimen has satiny silver
luster with a dusting of light iridescent toning.(#9222)
758 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS63 NGC. DuVall 3-D. A better die
variety identified by obverse repunching on the AT in STATES.
Uniform medium to deep gray patina displays gold undertones, and
the design elements are sharply struck. A few light marks limit the
grade.(#9222)
Radiant 1900 Lafayette Dollar, MS64
759 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS64 NGC. DuVall 1-B. This variety
is seem as often as the other four varieties combined. A mostly
brilliant and frosty near-Gem, this 1900 Lafayette dollar has
splashes of peripheral lavender and blue toning on each side. The
design elements are bold and the luster is radiant. (#9222)
1900 Lafayette Dollar, MS64
With Attractive Mottled Patina
760 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS64 PCGS. DuVall 1-B. This common
variety shows the lower right leaf of the branch positioned between
the 1 and 9 in the date, and the A in DOLLAR is low and leans
left. This piece has obviously been well cared for since the date of
issue. The surfaces display mottled gray, brilliant, olive-green, and
blue patina in varying degrees on each side. The only mark of note
is located on the reverse in the field above the horse’s tail. Pleasing
satiny mint luster. (#9222)

Satiny 1900 Lafayette Dollar, MS65
761 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS65 NGC. Variety 2-C. This is the
second most plentiful Lafayette dollar variety behind the LB die
combination. A survey of 280 Lafayette dollars revealed 12 of
variety LA, 150 of variety LB, 95 of variety 2-C, 23 of variety 3-D,
and none of variety 4-E.
This fully brilliant Gem has splendid satin luster with hints of
delicate gold toning along the borders. The surfaces are splendid
with only a few trivial marks. (#9222)
762 1921 Alabama MS65 PCGS. Light grayish-tan patina rides over
the lustrous surfaces of this well struck Gem, augmented by speckles
of deeper color. Some grade-consistent marks are noted, especially
on the eagle’s leg. Housed in a green label holder.(#9224)
763 1921 Alabama MS65 NGC. High grade Alabama halves
consistently display thick mint frost. On this piece it is abundantly
evident even through the medium-density gray-rose toning seen
on each side. Both obverse and reverse are minimally abraded, as
expected. (#9224)
764 1921 Alabama 2x2 MS65 PCGS. A melange of gray, greenish-
gold, violet, and ice-blue patina endows the lustrous surfaces of
this well struck Gem. A few grade-consistent marks do not detract.
(#9225)
765 1937 Antietam MS67 PCGS. CAC. Yellow-russet patina, deeper
on the reverse, washes over this lustrous example of the issue.
A small purple spot is noted on General Lee’s forehead, but this
crisply struck piece shows no individually mentionable marks.
Housed in a small-format holder. (#9229)
766 1937 Antietam MS67 NGC. The grade pretty much says it all:
nearly perfect. What is not included is the satiny mint luster that
enhances the light oyster-gray surfaces that deepen slightly around
the peripheries.(#9229)
1937 Antietam Half, MS68
A Colorful, Nearly Perfect Example
767 1937 Antietam MS68 NGC. CAC. The Battle of Antietam (or
Sharpsburg, as it was commonly called in the South), fought on
Sept. 17, 1862, was the “bloodiest day of the Civil War,” with
almost 23,000 dead and wounded. The 1937 Antietam half dollar
commemorates the 75th anniversary of that battle. This essentially
pristine and beautifully toned example offers deep cherry-red,
amber-gold, mint-green, and maroon patina dispersed on both
sides. Census: 17 in 68, 2 finer (1/10). (#9229)
Impressive 1937-D Arkansas Half, MS67
768 1937-D Arkansas MS67 PCGS. CAC. A satiny and precisely
struck pearl-gray Superb Gem with impressively mark-free surfaces.
A few light silver-gray flecks appear under a loupe. Only 5,005
pieces were struck, and those were only sold as part of PDS Sets.
Population: 14 in 67, 1 finer (12/09). (#9242)
Exquisite 1938-D Arkansas Half, MS67
769 1938-D Arkansas MS67 NGC. Hints of honey-gold enliven the
borders of this otherwise untoned Superb Gem. A precisely struck
and virtually pristine representative of this low mintage issue. The
Arkansas state centennial was in 1936, but PDS sets were issued
annually between 1935 and 1939. Census: 25 in 67, 2 finer (1/10).
(#9246)
770 1936-S Bay Bridge MS66 PCGS. The Bay Bridge is a difficult
coin to locate with an abrasion-free bear, as seen on this piece.
Both sides are covered with finely speckled gray-rose toning and
show strong underlying mint luster. (#9254)
771 1934 Boone MS67 PCGS. CAC. Violet and beige-gold patina
imbued with hints of mint-green adhere to the lustrous surfaces
of this charming Superb Gem, and an exacting strike leaves sharp
detail on the design elements. Impeccable preservation rounds
out the coin’s eye appeal. Population: 30 in 67, 1 finer (1/10).
(#9257)
772 1935 Boone MS67 PCGS. CAC. Bold silver-blue color consumes
most of this Superb Gem, though green-gold peripheral arcs also
grace each side and the upper reverse adds an element of muted
mustard. Strong luster and visual appeal. Population: 32 in 67, 0
finer (12/09).(#9258)
773 1935-S Boone MS65 PCGS. This Gem S-mint commemorative
is awash with vibrant luster and displays well struck motifs.
Wisps of violet, tan, and gold occupy nicely preserved surfaces.
(#9260)
774 1935/34-D Boone MS67 PCGS. CAC. This piece, from a net
mintage of 2,003 pieces, is one of a few dozen so certified at PCGS,
with but six coins graded finer (12/09). The silvery, pristine surfaces
are virtually untoned and unperturbed, save for a thin ring of
amber-gold at the extreme rims.(#9263)
775 1935/34-D Boone MS67 PCGS. A Superb Gem example of the
infamous Denver edition of the 1935/1934 Boone half dollar, the
lowest-mintage classic silver commemorative by one assay coin.
Soft silver-blue luster shows elements of olive and mustard-gold at
the margins. (#9263)

776 1936-D Boone MS67 PCGS. CAC. Gold and lemon-yellow
toning are splashed across the brilliant and frosty silver surfaces
of this Superb Gem. Both sides are sharply defined and pristine.
Population: 22 in 67, 0 finer (12/09).(#9267)
777 1936-D Boone MS67 NGC. CAC. Soft violet and champagne
patina is joined on the reverse periphery with aqua-green, lilac,
and gold. Lustrous surfaces exhibit well struck design motifs and
are devoid of significant marks. Census: 10 in 67, 0 finer (1/10).
(#9267)
778 1937 Boone MS65 PCGS. Dapples of olive-green and purple
interact with splashes of orange-gold and bluish-violet to yield
a magnificent toning palette. Strong luster exudes from both
sides, each of which exhibits sharply struck devices and is nicely
preserved. (#9270)
779 1937 Boone MS67 PCGS. CAC. Luminous blue-gray toning
through the centers with elements of muted green-gold around the
rims. This Boone half has solid definition and strong all-around eye
appeal. Population: 71 in 67, 3 finer (12/09).(#9270)
780 1937-S Boone MS67 NGC. Mottled gray-russet and rose toning is
scattered over each side with strong underlying satiny mint luster.
An exceptionally pleasing and problem-free Boone type coin.
(#9272)
781 1936 Bridgeport MS66 PCGS. The soft, frosted mint luster
enhances the variegated gray and rose toning over each side
of this remarkably clean, problem-free commemorative half.
(#9279)
Delicately Toned 1936 Bridgeport Half, MS67
782 1936 Bridgeport MS67 PCGS. CAC. Pastel ice-blue and sun-
gold toning adorns this lustrous and virtually pristine Superb Gem.
Many numismatic wags have commented on the significance of
the obverse portrait of promoter P.T. Barnum, best known for his
alleged quotation, “there’s a sucker born every minute.” There is no
doubt, however, that in MS67 condition the Bridgeport is both rare
and desirable. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 54
in 67, 0 finer (12/09). (#9279)
783 1925-S California MS66 PCGS. CAC. Lustrous surfaces are
overlain by light gray and faint russet toning along with lime-
green and cobalt-blue accents, and are nicely preserved. There
are seemingly no significant contact marks over either side.
(#9281)
Amazingly Preserved 1925-S California Half, MS68 ★
784 1925-S California MS68 ★ NGC. Among early commemoratives,
the California half was wedged between the Stone Mountain and
the Fort Vancouver. The former was a resounding success, the
latter not. As pointed out in Paul Green’s 2007 Numismatic News
article, “the California Diamond Jubilee half dollar had none of
the features designed to increase sales.” By that he was referring to
the stars, Xs, and counterstamps applied to the Alabama, Missouri,
Grant, and Stone Mountain coins. This is an amazingly preserved
example of this well-designed half. The surfaces are nearly perfect.
The mint luster has the bright sheen usually seen on these coins,
and each side has lovely peripheral iridescence with nearly untoned
centers. This piece is tied with five other MS68 ★ coins, and none
are finer at either service (1/10). (#9281)
Superb Gem 1936-D Cincinnati Half
785 1936-D Cincinnati MS67 NGC. A Superb Gem example of the
infamous Cincinnati design’s D-mint issue, among the finest of the
5,005 pieces struck. Light silver-gray luster dominates, though the
margins show tan and gold toning and dots of reddish-umber patina

gray through the centers. A lustrous Premium Gem example of
this challenging design. Population: 49 in 66, 1 finer (12/09).
(#9285)
787 1936 Cincinnati PDS Set MS66 PCGS. CAC. Each coin has full
satin luster with typical design definition, the San Francisco piece
having slightly less detail. The Philadelphia coin is mostly brilliant
with champagne toning and deeper peripheries. The Denver
specimen is brilliant with champagne toning and splashes of gold.
The example from the Western mint is darker, with golden-brown
and iridescent toning.
788 1936 Cincinnati PDS Set MS66 PCGS. All three coins show
green, gold, and violet peripheral toning around lustrous silver-gray
centers. The 1936 and 1936-D coins have CAC green labels,

green, golden-brown, and lilac toning consumes this shimmering
and pristine Superb Gem. Housed in an old green label holder.
Population: 54 in 67, 0 finer (1/10).(#9291)
792 1936-D Columbia MS66 PCGS. This beautifully toned
representative displays rich sun-gold, gunmetal-blue, and mauve-
gray patina that deepens near the margins. The present Premium
Gem is interesting for its two retained laminations (as produced)
near the M and C in AMERICA. (#9292)
Fantastic MS67 1892 Columbian Half
793 1892 Columbian MS67 NGC. The Columbian half has
an enduring popularity with collectors. It also often shows a
distinctive patination pattern, “Columbian half toning.” This is
such a piece. The obverse has teal colored patina for the most
part, while the reverse is reddish in the center with a blue margin.
The fields are bright and give the coin added zest, yielding a touch
of prooflikeness. An exceptional coin and free from the surface
distractions normally associated with this issue. (#9296)
794 1935 Connecticut MS67 NGC. Coruscating luster enlivens both
sides of this Superb Gem commemorative and a well directed strike
leaves well defined design features. A couple minuscule surface
and rim marks are undisturbing. Census: 65 in 67, 1 finer (1/10).
(#9299)
795 1936 Delaware MS67 NGC. Lime-green and crimson compete
for territory on the lustrous surfaces of this well struck Delaware
commemorative. A few obverse marks are mentioned for complete
accuracy. (#9301)
796 1936 Elgin MS65 NGC. Frosty luster in light silver-gray is the
rule on this Elgin Gem. The obverse margins show additional
gold-orange and violet elements, particularly at the bottom.
(#9303)
797 1936 Gettysburg MS66 PCGS. CAC. The lack of abrasions,
thick mint luster, and light original color all combine on this one
coin to make an exceptional, high grade example of this popular
Civil War-themed commemorative. Definitely a high-end coin.
(#9305)
798 1922 Grant No Star MS66 PCGS. CAC. Light to medium
walnut-brown and steel-blue toning enriches this nicely struck
and uncommonly unabraded Premium Gem. As is the case with
most No Star Grant halves, the obverse is mildly prooflike from its
proliferation of fine raised die lines in the field.(#9306)
799 1922 Grant No Star MS66 NGC. Pastel lime-green, apricot-
gold, rose-red, and stone-gray endow this satiny and unabraded
Premium Gem. The tree trunk near the frame house window shows
slight incompleteness, but the strike is otherwise bold. Housed in a
former generation holder.(#9306)
800 1922 Grant With Star MS63 NGC. Soft rose color is barely visible
on the lustrous surfaces of this Grant with Star commemorative.
Sharply struck and devoid of significant marks. (#9307)
801 1922 Grant With Star MS63 PCGS. CAC. Vibrant luster
radiates from this Grant commemorative that displays soft pastels of
multicolored toning along the margins, and a well executed strike
imparts strong definition to the design elements. A couple of marks
in the right obverse field barely preclude the next highest grade.
Nevertheless, nice overall eye appeal, appropriately recognized by
CAC. (#9307)
802 1928 Hawaiian—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. Unc Details. Fine
hairlines are visible on the bright, essentially untoned surfaces, but
mentionable contact marks are absent. Sharply struck throughout.
(#9309)
Desirable 1928 Hawaiian Half, MS64
803 1928 Hawaiian MS64 NGC. This Choice Mint State 1928
Hawaiian half dollar has splashes of mustard-yellow toning on the
reverse, an appearance that is often associated with the Bank of
Hawaii hoard that was sold in January 1986. Of course, those coins
are all widely dispersed today, more than 20 years later, and pieces
appear in the marketplace infrequently. Aside from its peripheral
patina, this piece is lustrous and fully brilliant. (#9309)
804 1935 Hudson MS64 PCGS. Light olive and chestnut toning visits
this lustrous near-Gem. Nicely struck and impressively devoid of
abrasions. Among the lowest mintage silver commemorative types.
Certified in an old green label holder. (#9312)
805 1935 Hudson MS65 NGC. CAC. Light sun-gold and powder-
blue shades visit this lustrous and evenly struck Gem. One thin
curved mark on the main sail. Among the lowest mintage silver
commemorative types. Certified in a prior generation holder.
(#9312)
806 1935 Hudson MS65 NGC. A softly struck but immensely lustrous
Gem with golden splashes against otherwise pale silver-gray surfaces.
Minimally abraded and thoroughly charming.(#9312)
807 1935 Hudson MS65 PCGS. This Hudson is notably free of the
numerous abrasions usually seen on the narwhale and Neptune.
The mint luster is soft and frosted with an overlay of light lavender
and lilac toning. A solid Gem Hudson half.(#9312)
Colorful MS66 1935 Hudson Half
808 1935 Hudson MS66 PCGS. While MS66 examples of the Hudson
half dollar cannot properly be termed scarce, they are in high
demand, since anything finer is the province of just a handful of
Registry collectors. This lustrous Premium Gem offers rich green-
gold, rose, and violet toning. Softly struck as usual in the centers,
but the overall eye appeal is redeeming. (#9312)
809 1946 Iowa MS68 ★ NGC. Reddish-gold and orange-gold
patination on the obverse cedes to lime-green, purple, and orange
on the reverse. A well executed strike brings out strong detail
on the design elements. An immaculately preserved and highly
appealing commemorative. Census: 13 in 68 ★, 0 finer (1/10).
(#9316)
810 1936 Long Island MS66 PCGS. Dappled dove-gray, olive-green,
and canary-gold patina confirms the originality of this lustrous and
immaculate Premium Gem. An outstanding representative, housed
in an old green label holder. (#9322)

red, and navy-blue toning dominates the borders of this lustrous
Premium Gem. The devices display dappled golden-brown and
gunmetal-blue. A slightly incomplete strike at the centers, but
otherwise essentially unimprovable. (#9322)
Desirable 1936 Long Island Half, MS67
812 1936 Long Island MS67 NGC. A plentiful and popular
commemorative issue, except in Superb Gem the Long Island is
elusive and highly desirable. This piece has exquisite lavender
toning with rainbow iridescence on both sides. The pristine
surfaces have satiny underlying luster and are blemish-free. Census:
60 in 67, 3 finer (1/10). (#9322)
Strong MS67 1936 Long Island Half
813 1936 Long Island MS67 NGC. Small patches of frosty silver-gray
give way to bold bronze, blue-green, cerulean, and umber hues
on this Long Island Superb Gem. Each side is carefully preserved,
with only a single tiny tick noted on the settler’s cheek. NGC has
certified just three numerically finer pieces (1/10). (#9322)
Lustrous 1920 Maine Half Dollar, MS67
814 1920 Maine MS67 NGC. Potent luster emanates from both sides
of this Superb Gem and dapples of olive-green, brown, purple,
and sky-blue concentrate at the margins of each. Well preserved
surfaces are in receipt of a well executed strike, enhancing the
coin’s eye appeal. Census: 23 in 67, 1 finer (1/10). (#9326)
815 1934 Maryland MS65 PCGS. Moderate mauve toning fills the
borders of this lustrous and attentively struck Gem. The reverse is
well preserved, and the obverse has only minor contact. In a green
label holder.(#9328)
816 1921 Missouri MS64 NGC. Gunmetal-blue, lavender, and soft
russet toning concentrates at the margins of this radiantly lustrous
near-Gem and a solid strike delivers full definition to the design
motifs. A few trivial marks are undistracting. (#9330)
1921 ‘Plain* Missouri Centennial Half, MS65
817 1921 Missouri MS65 NGC. A delightful Missouri commemorative
half dollar with original iridescent toning and underlying mint
frost. This Gem, issued to celebrate the Missouri Centennial, has
exceptional surfaces and possesses strong eye appeal. NGC has only
certified 31 finer examples of this issue (1/10). (#9330)
818 1921 Missouri 2x4 MS64 NGC. The surfaces are attractive and
minimally abraded, as indicated by the grade. The centers are
untoned but surrounded by golden toning at the margins. Excellent
value in this difficult commemorative issue.(#9331)
Pleasing Gem 1921 2x4 Missouri Half
819 1921 Missouri 2x4 MS65 NGC. The obverse toning of this
2x4 Gem are vaguely concentric, though the hues—green-gold
outside, fading to blue and faded orange with an eventual silver-
gray center—form arcs rather than complete circles. The reverse
has rich, subdued rose-violet, gold, and orange patina around a
near-brilliant core. NGC has graded just 20 numerically finer
examples (1/10). (#9331)
820 1923-S Monroe MS65 NGC. Brownish-gray patination with
gold undertones bathes the lustrous surfaces of this S-mint Monroe
commemorative. Sharply struck and revealing just a couple of
minor grade-consistent marks. This issue becomes difficult to
acquire any finer.(#9333)
821 1938 New Rochelle MS66 NGC. Vibrant luster appears to reach
out to the observer of this impeccably preserved, sharply struck
New Rochelle commemorative. Reddish-gold, russet, and electric-
blue patina concentrates at the obverse margin, while golden-
orange covers most of the reverse.(#9335)
822 1925 Norse Thin Planchet MS65 PCGS. Traces of chestnut
toning cling to the rims of this satiny octagonal Gem. The strike
is precise, and marks of any size require patience to locate. The
thin planchet variety is believed approximately five times scarcer
than its thick flan counterpart. Population: 28 in 65, 3 finer (1/10).
(#9451)
823 1926-S Oregon MS67 PCGS. CAC. The violet and gold hues
that dominate the left obverse and the peripheral reverse yield to
startling brilliance elsewhere. This glittering Superb Gem is near
the top of the PCGS Population Report, with just four coins graded
finer (12/09).(#9341)
824 1933-D Oregon MS67 PCGS. Light silver-gray color overall

Lovely 1938-D Oregon Half, MS68
826 1938-D Oregon MS68 NGC. Both sides of this incredible Superb
Gem have peripheral iridescent toning along the borders, serving as
a nice frame for the brilliant and frosty silver luster at the centers.
This piece is a remarkable example, exceeded for grade by just two
NGC submissions and two other PCGS submissions. Census: 59 in
68, 2 finer (1/10). (#9349)
827 1939 Oregon MS67 PCGS. CAC. Barely discernible gold and
violet coloration rests on the lustrous surfaces of this Superb Gem
commemorative, and a well executed strike leaves strong detail on
the devices. Pleasing overall eye appeal. Population: 74 in 67, 4
finer (1/10).(#9352)
828 1936 Rhode Island MS66 PCGS. Golden-tan and purple freckles
run over the lustrous surfaces of this attractive Premium Gem,

Richly Patinated 1937 Roanoke Commemorative, MS68

reddish-orange, and yellow-gold patination dominates the obverse
margins ceding to yellow-green in the central area and over most
of the reverse. Crisp, uniform definition is apparent on the design
elements and both sides are immaculately preserved. Census: 26 in
68,0 finer (1/10). (#9367)
833 1936 Robinson MS66 PCGS. A well executed strike leaves sharp,
uniform detail on the lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem.

dove-gray drape the obverse of this lustrous and pristine Premium
Gem. The reverse provides lighter stone-gray and sun-gold color.
Certified in an old green label holder. (#9369)
835 1935-S San Diego MS67 PCGS. CAC. A softly lustrous Superb
Gem, well struck and richly toned. Dappled gold, blue-green,

gray centers. PCGS has graded just three coins finer (12/09).

Edmund Senn’s 1935 Spanish Trail Half, MS67
842 1935 Spanish Trail MS67 PCGS. CAC. Edmund J. Senn,
the artist who modeled the Spanish Trail half, is best known as
having been unemployed at the time L.W. Hoffecker gave him
the commission. Classically trained and Austrian-born, the
sexagenarian Senn died in 1938, just three years after his brush
with the commemorative world. This silver-gray Superb Gem has
subtle pink accents and a touch of orange patina at the rims. Well-
defined and carefully preserved with a single spot of deeper toning
above the L of LIBERTY. Population: 88 in 67, 2 finer (12/09).

wing. Census: 13 in 68, 0 finer (1/10). (#9382)

examples (12/09).(#9386)
Attractive 1937-D Texas Fifty Cent, MS68 ★
The Finest NGC-Certified
846 1937-D Texas MS68 ★ NGC. NGC has seen fit to assign the Star
designation to a mere three 1937'D Texas commemorative half
dollars, with the present MS68 offering being the finest. Apple-
green, golden-orange, and crimson concentrate along the obverse
borders, while reddish and golden-tan freckles dominate the reverse
periphery. Intense luster radiates from immaculately preserved
surfaces that exhibit well delineated devices. (#9391)
Amazing MS67 1938 Texas Half
847 1938 Texas MS67 NGC. Deep orange-bronze toning consumes
most of the obverse, leaving only small areas of gleaming silver
surface, though the toning on the reverse, while similar in color
with purple additions, is far more subdued and restricted to the
margins. Carefully preserved beneath the patina with a solid strike.
Census: 43 in 67, 2 finer (1/10). (#9394)
848 1938-D Texas MS67 PCGS. Frosty and gorgeous with a suggestion
of powder-blue peripheral toning around silver-white centers on

lime-green. Census: 71 in 67, 12 finer (1/10).(#9396)
850 1925 Vancouver MS66 NGC. A well-preserved early
commemorative half, the toning on this piece sets it apart as well
as the exceptionally clean surfaces. Both sides show purplish-russet
and cobalt-blue toning, but the reverse more so. (#9399)
851 1946 Booker T. Washington MS67 PCGS. PCGS has only
certified a single finer example of this common date commemorative
half dollar, often chosen to represent the Booker T. Washington

Colorful Superb Gem 1946-D BTW Fifty Cent
853 1946-D Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. Violet-gray and
greenish-gold obverse toning cedes to deeper reddish-gold, green,
and purple coloration on the reverse. Exquisitely struck and
preserved. Conditionally rare at the MS67 level, undoubtedly due
to the mediocre strike seen on most examples of the type. Census:
53 in 67, 5 finer (1/10). (#9405)
854 1947 Booker T. Washington MS66 PCGS. Vibrant luster radiates
from both sides of this delightful commemorative. Russet and aqua-
blue toning concentrates around the obverse borders, ceding to
olive-green freckles on the reverse margins. A few “chatter marks”
do not take from the coin’s eye appeal. PCGS has seen a mere four
pieces finer (1/10).(#9408)
855 1947-D Booker T. Washington MS66 PCGS. Radiantly lustrous
surfaces display hints of gold peripheral toning and a well executed
strike imparts strong detail to the design elements. Both sides are
devoid of mentionable marks. Population: 84 in 66, 1 finer (1/10).
(#9409)
856 1947-S Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. Light blue accents
visit pale silver-gray surfaces. This second-year Superb Gem is

a numerically finer example (12/09).(#9410)
Prized MS67 1948T) BTW Half
857 1948-D Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. This D-mint
Booker T. Washington issue has a low mintage of just 8,000 pieces
excluding assay coins, and Superb Gem coins are conditionally
rare. This MS67 coin is tied for numerically finest in the combined
certified population (1/10), thanks to impressive preservation that
brings out the best of the strongly lustrous surfaces, faintly silver-
blue with elements of tan. (#9413)
Superb Gem 1948^S BTW Half
858 1948-S Booker T. Washington MS67 PCGS. CAC. With just
five MS67 examples of this issue certified by PCGS and none
finer (12/09), this BTW half is of high importance to the Registry
collector. Pale golden toning visits much of each side, though
the portrait is minimally patinated. Minor planchet roughness is
present, but post-striking flaws are few. (#9414)
859 1951 Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. The combined NGC
and PCGS population of 13 Superb Gem MS67 coins, and only
one finer piece, help to identify just how important this piece
is. Both sides have a high degree of luster beneath deep rainbow
toning. Census: 8 in 67, 1 finer (1/10).(#9424)
860 1951-S Booker T. Washington MS67 PCGS. CAC. Brilliant

25 in 67, 0 finer (12/09).(#9426)
1951-S Washington-Carver Half, MS67
861 1951-S Washington-Carver MS67 NGC. Dappled blue, green,
and gold hues grace the outer zones on this Washington-Carver
Superb Gem, while the centers remain mostly pale silver-gray.
Slight central striking softness is visible on the reverse map,
specifically the S superimposed over it, but this is a minor quibble
next to the impressive luster. Tied for numerically finest graded by
NGC or PCGS (1/10). (#9432)
862 1952 Washington-Carver MS66 PCGS. A delicate blend of
violet, light green and orange-gold adorns the lustrous surfaces
of this Premium Gem. Well preserved surfaces exhibit decisively
struck design elements. PCGS has seen a mere six pieces finer

well cared for. Population: 49 in 66, 1 finer (1/10).(#9438)
865 1953-S Washington-Carver MS66 PCGS. This appealing S-mint

869 1903 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson MS65 NGC. Strong yellow-
gold luster with above-average design definition. The upper reverse
rim shows a small copper spot above the space between the AS in
PURCHASE. (#7443)
870 1903 Louisiana Purchase/McKinley MS64 PCGS. CAC.
Variegated peach-gold and mint-green surfaces yield an occasional
splash of apricot, especially on the reverse. Pleasing luster radiates
from each side, with the central obverse device being nicely frosted.
An exacting strike delivers sharp, uniform definition to the design
features. A nicely preserved piece.(#7444)

871 1903 Louisiana Purchase/McKinley MS64 PCGS. CAC. A
lemon-gold Choice Mint State example that has peripheral hints
of lime patina. Luster dominates both sides, and the absence of
abrasions confirms both the numerical grade and the opinion of
CAC. It is true that a 1903 McKinley will always be available for
purchase, but perhaps not with the superior quality of the present
coin.(#7444)
872 1903 Louisiana Purchase/McKinley MS66 NGC. An incredible
Premium Gem, this McKinley gold dollar has frosty luster with
rich yellow surfaces and substantial design definition. It is a highly
appealing piece with few peers, especially among coins available in
the market place. (#7444)
873 1903 Louisiana Purchase/McKinley MS66 NGC. Sharply
defined and fully lustrous, this Premium Gem has satiny yellow
surfaces with heavy die polish in the obverse field that imparts a
suggestion of reflectivity. (#7444)
874 1904 Lewis and Clark MS62 PCGS. The Lewis side displays
peach patina, while the Clark side is honey-gold. A satiny and
evenly struck representative of this scarce commemorative gold
dollar type. In a green label holder.(#7447)
High-End MS64 1904 Lewis and Clark Gold Dollar
875 1904 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. CAC. This issue
commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Voyage of Discovery.
Meriwether Lewis is on the obverse (dated side), and William
Clark is on the reverse. The fields are lightly striated and slightly
reflective, and each side has an accent of reddish patina. Minimally
abraded and high-end. (#7447)
Gem 1904 Lewis and Clark Dollar
876 1904 Lewis and Clark MS65 NGC. Bright yellow-gold luster
prevails on each side, though glimpses of sun and peach are also
present close to the centers. A relatively well struck example with
few of the post-striking abrasions so often seen, though a handful
of minor faults combine to preclude an even finer designation.

1905 Lewis and Clark Gold Dollar
Frosty 1915-S Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle, MS65
884 1916 McKinley MS65 NGC. Rich orange-gold coloration is
evident with reflective fields and satiny devices. The 1916 and 1917
McKinley gold dollars were fund-raising pieces for the McKinley
Birthplace Memorial in Niles, Ohio, midway between Warren and
Youngstown in the far eastern part of the state. (#7454)
879 1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS65 NGC. CAC. Strong
butter-yellow luster with orange and peach overtones. Well struck
for this classic commemorative gold dollar issue and pleasingly
preserved, even by Gem standards.(#7449)
Attractive 1917 McKinley Gold Dollar, MS66
881 1915-S Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS63 PCGS. An
attractive Select example of this popular gold commemorative
quarter eagle issue, the first of just two classic commemoratives
of its denomination. Lustrous butter-yellow surfaces lend the coin
considerable eye appeal despite light abrasions. Minor striking
softness affects the central figures. (#7450)
886 1917 McKinley MS66 PCGS. This Premium Gem commemorative
gold dollar gives off ebullient luster from its surfaces that are
attractively toned in orange, mint-green, and lilac on the obverse
and the first two colors on the reverse. This exquisitely struck piece
is devoid of mentionable marks. (#7455)
877 1905 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. Lustrous and lovely with
an unperturbed appearance and a consistently crisp strike. Coin
designers must disagree with the maxim that two heads are better
than one, since the 1904 and 1905 Lewis and Clark gold dollars
remain the only true double-headed U.S. type coin. (#7448)
882 1915-S Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS65 NGC. Part of the
famous set of Panama-Pacific commemorative coins that were
issued by Farran Zerbe, the quarter eagle is infrequently encountered
in Gem or finer grades. This piece has frosty green-gold luster with
excellent surfaces with only a few trivial blemishes and no spotting
of any type. (#7450)
MS64 1905 Lewis and Clark Dollar
883
Pair of 1915-S Panama-Pacific Boxes. A pair of single-coin boxes
for Panama-Pacific fifty dollar gold pieces, one for an octagonal
example, the other for a round piece. The boxes are complete and
intact, with some scuffing on the outside, but with complete gilt
trim. The purple velvet interior of each is excellent, with the gilt
lettering bold and vibrant. The holder for the round piece has a
printed information card included. There are no coins included in
this lot.(Total: 2 items)
878 1905 Lewis and Clark MS64 NGC. A generally well struck and
lustrous yellow-gold example from the more challenging second
year of the Lewis and Clark gold dollar design. Minor alloy is
noted at the peripheries, but aside from a handful of shallow lines
in the fields around the portraits, significant abrasions are few.
(#7448)
Marvelous MS66 1917 McKinley Gold Dollar
880 1915-S Panama-Pacific Gold Dollar MS66 PCGS. A subtle
blend of mint-green and apricot resides on the lustrous surfaces of
this Premium Gem commemorative gold dollar. Sharply struck and
devoid of mentionable marks. (#7449)
MS63 1915-S Panama-Pacific Two and a Half
885 1917 McKinley MS66 NGC. The third and last classic gold
commemorative to bear an image of the late President McKinley,
the 1917 Birthplace dollar was not well-received in its time but
has gained considerable popularity since. The bold, slightly satiny
orange-gold luster of this well struck Premium Gem lends it
excellent eye appeal. (#7455)

887 1922 Grant No Star MS64 PCGS. Striking yellow-gold luster
lends this No Star near-Gem impressive eye appeal. Softly struck
devices show a handful of wispy abrasions, as do the fields.
(#7458)
Gem No Star 1922 Grant Gold Dollar
888 1922 Grant No Star MS65 PCGS. CAC. This yellow-gold Gem
appears immaculate aside from two brief hair-thin marks, one
above the frame house door and the other on Grant’s forehead.
Sharply struck save for the inevitable incompleteness on the tree
trunk near the window, which is opposite the highpoint of Grant’s
hair. Encapsulated in a green label holder. (#7458)
Lustrous 1922 Grant No Star Dollar, MS65
889 1922 Grant No Star MS65 NGC. Sharp design details and
lustrous light yellow-gold surfaces characterize this pristine Gem
gold dollar. The famous Civil War general and later U.S. President
Ulysses S. Grant is the subject of this commemorative, showing
his Ohio birthplace on the reverse. This piece will serve as a nice
addition to a commemorative collection or a Civil War historical
collection. (#7458)
Bold 1922 Grant Star Dollar, MS65
890 1922 Grant With Star MS65 NGC. This boldly detailed Gem
has frosty yellow-gold luster with traces of pale green patina on
each side and mostly sharp design motifs. Only a few minor marks
are evident in the left obverse field, with additional small copper
toning spots primarily on the obverse. (#7459)
891 1922 Grant With Star MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1922 Grant With
Star memorial gold dollar was the first version of the type, the star
later being removed. Bright luster endows this Premium Gem that
displays pretty peach-gold color. Additionally, a solid strike imparts
strong definition to the design elements. An inoffensive alloy spot
occurs on each side. (#7459)
Appealing 1922 Grant With Star Dollar, MS66
892 1922 Grant With Star MS66 NGC. A wonderful example of
the Grant With Star variety, an unrequested bonus received by
the issuing agency, generating additional profits as most collectors
required both varieties. This lustrous piece has frosty yellow surfaces
with excellent design definition. (#7459)
Popular 1926 Sesquicentennial
Quarter Eagle, MS65
893 1926 Sesquicentennial MS65 NGC. A fantastically lustrous
yellow-gold Gem with mildly frosted design elements. Remarkable
overall quality, with only shallow luster grazes where the majority
of examples will show light to moderate abrasions. Elusive in better
grades; NGC has graded 92 numerically finer examples (1/10).
(#7466)

MODERN BULLION COINS
895 1986 One-Ounce Gold Eagle Gem Uncirculated PCGS. Per
the insert, “Gem Uncirculated” rather than a numeric grade, from
“WTC Ground Zero Recovery.” Lustrous with deep yellow streaks
against lighter straw-gold color.(#9806)
1986-W One-Ounce Gold American Eagle
PR69 Deep Cameo, Gerald Ford Autograph
896 1986-W One-Ounce Gold Eagle PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS.
“President Edition,” #500 of 500, insert signed by the late President
Ford. Outstandingly contrasted and virtually flawless, with
only a few tiny imperfections visible; most appear only under
magnification, though the field between the flying eagle’s wings
does show a handful of modest faults. An unusual and desirable
example of this first-year proof one-ounce gold American Eagle
issue. (#9807)
Prized PR68 Deep Cameo
1995-W Silver Eagle
897 1995-W Silver Eagle PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. Outstanding
contrast and eye appeal for this prized modern key, the greatest
obstacle to a complete set of proof silver American eagles. A couple
of tiny milk spots can be found in the fields close to the frost-white
devices, but a black-and-white appearance dominates otherwise.
(#9887)
PR69 Ultra Cameo 1995-W
Silver American Eagle
898 1995-W Silver Eagle PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. A virtually
perfect representative of the well-known key to the proof silver
American Eagle series, one of just over 30,000 specimens coined.
The surfaces are profoundly contrasted with an absolute black-
and-white appearance. Only under magnification do a handful of
minuscule flaws appear. (#9887)
Modern Key 1995-W Silver Eagle, PR69 Ultra Cameo
899 1995-W Silver Eagle PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. This pristine
proof, a remarkable near-perfect specimen, survives from a mintage
of only 30,125 coins, an ultra-low mintage resulting in a key modern
issue rarity. Both sides have impressive field-device contrast with
fully brilliant and untoned proof surfaces. (#9887)
900 2005 Four-Piece Platinum Eagle Set MS69 PCGS. All four
platinum American Eagles are designated by PCGS as “First
Strikes.” Includes the tenth-ounce, quarter-ounce, half-ounce,
and one-ounce sizes.(Total: 4 coins)
901 2006-W Four-Piece Gold Eagle Set MS70 NGC. All four gold
American Eagles are described by NGC as “Early Releases.”
Includes the tenth-ounce, quarter-ounce, half-ounce, and one-
ounce sizes.(Total: 4 coins)
902 2006-W One-Ounce Gold Eagle MS70 NGC. Early Releases.
Technically flawless with a shining sense of modern perfection.
While it does not influence the technical grade, a shallow
depression to the left of the main eagle’s right wingtip is of some
interest. (#89989)
903 2006 One-Ounce Gold Buffalo MS70 NGC. An ounce of pure
gold, struck to satiny perfection. The butter-yellow surfaces offer
exquisite texture and undeniable quality.
From The Stan Burger Collection, Part Two.(#9999)
904 2006 One-Ounce Gold Buffalo MS70 NGC. NGC described
as “First Strikes.” Richly textured and sharply struck with utterly
flawless butter-yellow surfaces. A tiny glint appears behind the
portrait’s neck. (#9999)
905 2006 One-Ounce Gold Buffalo MS70 NGC. NGC designation
“First Strikes.” A delightful and technically perfect example of this
popular pure-gold bullion series, boldly impressed with rich yellow
color.(#9999)
906 2006-W One-Ounce American Eagle Gold Reverse Proof PR70
PCGS. PCGS First Strike designation. A technically flawless

preserved as the gleaming devices.
From The Stan Burger Collection, Part Two.(#89995)
907 2006-W Buffalo One-Ounce Gold PR70 Ultra Cameo NGC.
An utterly flawless proof specimen of this one-ounce gold issue,

From The Stan Burger Collection, Part Two.(#9990)

COINS OF HAWAII
Exceptional 1883 Hawaiian Ten Cent, MS65
913 1883 Hawaii Ten Cents MS65 PCGS. This Gem is sharply
defined with incredible golden-violet toning over frosty silver
surfaces and a full quota of original underlying mint luster. The
1883 Hawaiian dime was struck at the San Francisco Mint, and
carries the same standard as U.S. dimes. Population: 18 in 65, 11
finer (1/10). (#10979)
914 1883 Hawaii Quarter MS66 PCGS. CAC. Dappled green-gold,
blue, and violet hues drape the gleaming surfaces of this sharply
struck Premium Gem. Uncommonly flashy for this Kalakaua issue.
(#10987)
915 1883 Hawaii Half Dollar MS61 NGC. Struck at the San
Francisco Mint, the 1883 Hawaiian silver coins were produced at
the same standard as the U.S. silver coins of the time, utilizing
existing planchets. This pleasing Mint State piece is sharply
defined with frosty silver luster and splashes of iridescent toning.
(#10991)
918 1883 Hawaii Half Dollar MS64 PCGS. The 1883 Hawaii quarter
is plentiful in Mint State, undoubtedly due to a since-distributed
hoard. However, its half dollar counterpart is rare at the MS64
level, yet remains affordable despite its status as a one-year type.
Lustrous and boldly struck with lovely golden-brown, lime-green,
and cream-gray toning. Distributed unimportant obverse contact
fails to affect the considerable eye appeal. Population: 55 in 64, 12
finer (1/10). (#10991)
Lovely 1883 Hawaiian Dollar, MS63
919 1883 Hawaii Dollar MS63 PCGS. CAC. This gorgeous Hawaiian
dollar has blue, violet, and gray toning over satiny surfaces. The
reverse is slightly lighter than the obverse of this important piece.
Hawaiian dollars are difficult to locate in higher Mint State grades,
as the population data reveals. Population: 14 in 63, 34 finer
(1/10). (#10995)
916 1883 Hawaii Half Dollar MS63 PCGS. Whispers of golden-tan
patina visit the obverse of this Select half dollar, joined by blushes
of sky-blue, lavender, and olive-gray on the reverse. Lustrous and
sharply struck with clean surfaces aside from a small curved granular
streak near OF. (#10991)
Toned, Near-Gem 1883 Hawaiian Half
Seldom Seen in Such High Grade
917 1883 Hawaii Half Dollar MS64 PCGS. A deeply toned hapalua
with bold design elements and excellent luster, all combining to
create incredible aesthetic appeal. This desirable piece, like all
1883 Hawaiian silver coins, was struck at the San Francisco Mint,
using planchets of U.S. coinage standards. Population: 55 in 64, 12
finer (12/09). (#10991)
ERRORS
Undated Reverse Die Cap From
Copper-Nickel Cent, MS64
920 Undated Copper-Nickel Indian Cent—Reverse Die Cap—MS64
PCGS. The combination of a copper-nickel planchet and an
oak-wreath-with-shield design suggest an origin between 1860
and 1864. The cap, though shallow in depth, offers impressive
distortion on the “inner” face, with the backwards ONE CENT
impressively broadened and flattened. An intriguing 19th. century
error.
921 1864 Copper-Nickel Indian Cent—Struck 15% Off Center—
MS61 NGC. Struck off center toward 5:30. All legends are intact,
although the date is distorted, and there is a broad area of unstruck
surface centered at 11:30. A few wispy marks are noted on the
reverse exergue and below CENT. Satiny and luminous with light
gold and ice-blue toning.

922 Undated Indian Cent—Struck by Capped Die—XF45 ANACS.
The medium brown reverse has a normal appearance. The obverse,
however, shows only a blurry raised indication of the Indian motif.
Struck through a relatively late state obverse die cap, which is not
included.
923 Undated Indian Cent—Obverse Struck Through Capped Die—
AU58 NGC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal, Card Included. The reverse
has a normal appearance, and is the Bold N subtype of 1870 to
1909. The obverse is featureless aside from a barely identifiable
impression of Liberty in a headdress. A late-in-life die cap (not
included) blocked the obverse die, but the cap was sufficiently thin
that an indication of the design passed through.
25% Off Center Indian Cent, MS63 Brown
On a Thin 1.13 Gram Planchet
924 Undated Indian Cent—Struck 25% Off Center on a 1.13 Gram
Planchet—MS63 Brown NGC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal, Card
Included. Struck widely off center toward 1 o’clock, relative to
the reverse. The reverse is otherwise normal, and is the Bold N
post-1870 subtype. The obverse displays a blurry, reversed, and
incused impression of the reverse. Apparently, this wafer-thin
planchet was fed off center into a coinage chamber along with a
correctly centered second planchet (not included) that obstructed
the obverse die.
925 1907 Indian Cent—Struck Through Reverse Die Cap—AU50
NGC. The NGC insert asserts the coin is “Uniface Reverse”,
but the reverse design is in fact vaguely present, although nearly
featureless as it was struck through a later stage reverse die cap.
A deep brown cent with light wear on the bust tip, forehead, and
shoulder curl.
926 1907 Indian Cent—Reverse Struck Through Capped Die—
MS63 Brown NGC. The chocolate-brown obverse is normal, but
the reverse has only a blurry indication of the wreath, shield, and
central legend. The reverse die was blocked by a late stage die cap
(not included) that blunted detail from that die.
1945 Lincoln on Netherlands East Indies 1/2C Flan
VF30 Details
927 1945 Lincoln Cent—Struck on a Netherlands East Indies Half
Cent Planchet—VF30 Details Damaged ANACS. This pieces
is smaller diameter than a Lincoln cent, and has olive-brown
surfaces with some minor roughness and a scrape at the lower
reverse. Unfortunately, ANACS failed to record the weight of this
example on the holder, so the attribution is based solely on their
holder.
928 1962 Lincoln Cent—Obverse Struck Through Capped Die—
MS66 Red NGC. Both sides of this Premium Gem show fiery
orange mint luster, slightly deeper on the reverse, with a few
trivial flyspecks limiting the grade. The obverse is disfigured from
the strike thru, while the reverse is fully and sharply defined.
(#2878)
929 1980 Lincoln Cent—Struck over a 1980-P Roosevelt
Dime—MS64 NGC. Sometimes called an 11 cent piece, this
error type is extremely popular and highly elusive. Usually only
when major error collections come out do these coins become
available in the market place, where they remain for an extremely
short time. Lustrous with pleasing champagne toning and darker
accents.
Astounding 1999 Lincoln Cent
Struck on a 1980-D Dime, MS66
930 1999 Cent—Struck on a 1980-D Dime—MS66 NGC. A
remarkable double-denomination piece with 20 years between
strikes! Not only is this a double-denomination, double-date piece,
but it is also a dual Mint coin. The first strike occurred in Denver in
1980 and the second in Philadelphia in 1999! One might wonder
how that could happen, but happen it did, and the result is an
impressive and highly sought-after error. A gorgeous example with
fully brilliant and highly lustrous nickel-gray surfaces.
Interesting Superb Gem Double Denomination
2000 Cent Struck on a 2000-P Dime
931 2000 Lincoln Cent—Double Denomination, Struck on a
2000-P Dime—MS67 NGC. Double denomination errors are
seldom offered for sale and when they are collectors jump at the
opportunity. An arc of hazel and deep red patina graces the margins
of this “11 cents” error, while the centers are fully brilliant. The
first three digits of the dime’s date, as well as the mintmark and
a significant amount of other undertype, are clearly visible above
Lincoln’s head. The only marks appear to be mint-made.

Choice AU Dime Reverse Die Cap
With Brockage, New Orleans Origin
1943-S Nickel Struck on a Silver
Australian Sixpence Flan, AU58
934 1943-S Jefferson Nickel—Struck on an Australian Sixpence
Planchet—AU58 NGC. 2.8 gm. The San Francisco Mint struck
4,000,000 silver sixpence for a war-isolated Australia (KM-38,
2.82 gm) in 1943. This wrong metal error is struck on a Type Two
planchet with raised rims. Slightly uncentered toward 12 o’clock.
The mintmark and date are bold. Lustrous and unmarked with no
obvious signs of wear.
937 1972-S Quarter—Double Struck With Obverse Rotation—
PR65 Cameo NGC. Both sides have watery reflectivity and
moderate contrast beneath gold and royal-purple toning. While
the reverse appears normal, the obverse die apparently rotated
between strikings, resulting in a distinct “spread” is noted on both
peripheral and central elements on that side.
933 2001 Lincoln Cent—Double Denomination, Struck on a 2001-P
Dime—MS68 NGC. With the usually strict quality control at the
U.S. mints, it is quite rare to find modern double denominations.
Collectors treasure these rare and interesting errors. An impressive
amount of the dime’s undertype is still visible, including the date.
A touch of tan accents the mostly silver-gray surfaces. Both sides
appear pristine, and the cent’s details are boldly struck. The bust of
Roosevelt is upside-down relative to Lincoln. A highly lustrous and
appealing specimen.
936 Undated, D-Mint Washington Quarter—Struck on a Silver Dime
Planchet—MS63 PCGS. There was obviously not an obverse
die in place when the reverse quarter die struck a well-centered
impression on a silver dime planchet. How a dime planchet was
mixed in with the production of quarters is another story and one
we do not have the answer to. The unstruck, wavy “obverse” is
brilliant. The struck reverse side shows light golden toning. A
curious striking error.
PR65 Cameo 1972-S Washington Quarter
With Rotation Between Obverse Images
935 Undated New Orleans Dime—Reverse Die Cap Brockage—
AU55 PCGS. The reverse design, with simple wreath of cereals
and only lettering ONE DIME within and an ‘O’ mintmark below,
indicates a New Orleans dime struck in 1860, 1891, or one of
a string of Barber dime dates from 1892 to 1909. A shallow but
distinctive die cap, richly toned blue and violet with considerable
remaining luster, though modest wear is also present.
Curious Undated D-Mint Quarter Struck on a Silver Dime
Planchet, MS63
932 2001 Lincoln Cent—Double Denomination, Struck on a 2001-
P Dime—MS67 NGC. Heritage has offered only about a half-
dozen of the popular double denomination errors in the past year.
They are rarely seen in today’s marketplace. The obverse of this
Superb Gem “11 cents” error has a touch of tan patina, while the
reverse exhibits soft blue and gold toning. While NGC ascribes a
date to the dime undertype, the numerals are difficult to identify,
even under magnification. An impeccably preserved example of
this interesting error.

1912-D Barber Half on a 1902 Half Dollar
Fine 15
A Stunning and Likely Unique Mint Error
938 1912-D Barber Half—Struck on a 1902 Half Dollar—Fine 15
NGC. The host coin is a 1902 Barber half dollar, either from the
Philadelphia or New Orleans Mint as just a suggestion of a possible
previous mintmark is visible, and of course the Denver Mint was
barely under construction in 1902 and didn’t begin operation until
1906. The host coin then made its way to Denver, where it found
its way into the coin press for Barber half dollars a decade later.
All four digits of the 1902 date are clearly visible, overlapping
and slightly left of the 1912 date. Considerable additional detail
is closely overlapping, appearing as a shift strike if the 1902 date
wasn’t present.
This is a stunning and almost certainly unique mint error with
pleasing surfaces and natural light gray-tan color on both sides. All
of LIBERTY is clearly visible, and all other detail is consistent with
the assigned grade.
Near-Mint 1963-D Half
Struck on a Quarter Dollar Flan
939 1963-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Silver Quarter Planchet—
AU58 PCGS. Struck on a Type One quarter flan that never made
it through the upset mill to raise the rim. LIBERTY is absent, as is
most of HALF DOLLAR, but the date and mintmark are complete.
This satiny example is unabraded aside from a brief scratch in
the left obverse field. Both sides have blushes of peripheral gold
and iridescent toning that add to the overall eye appeal of this
piece.
940 90% Silver Type One Dollar Blank AU58 PCGS. The alloy is
90% silver, which corresponds to 1840 through 1935 U.S. silver
dollars. This unstruck planchet is Type One, which indicates
it never passed through the upset mill to raise the rims. The
“obverse” has a few minute ticks, and the reverse has faint thin
marks that appear similar to adjustment marks. Toned cream-gray
to russet.
First-Year 1986 Silver American Eagle
Struck Through Emery Circle
941 1986 Silver Eagle—Reverse Struck Through Sanding Disk—
MS68 NGC. What NGC describes as a “sanding disk” is actually
a circle of emery paper, used to prepare the Uncirculated versions
of the silver American Eagles. Coins would be struck deliberately
through the emery paper to impart texture to them. While those
coins ordinarily would be condemned and melted, this error and its
heavily textured reverse escaped to the outside world. Peripheral
tan-orange and violet shadings add color to each side.
HARD TIMES TOKEN
942 1837 Token MS62 NGC. HT-73. The famous 1837 half-cent-sized
token with legend HALF CENT WORTH OF PURE COPPER
within and below the wreath on the reverse. A luminous violet-
brown piece that apparently never circulated. (#109)
WASHINGTONIA
943 1872-Dated George Washington 1/4 California Gold Charm
MS65 NGC. Baker-504A (1885 edition). This octagonal
example has vibrant yellow-gold luster. The central fraction
shows moderate striking weakness, as it is opposite the portrait of
Washington.
944 1872-Dated George Washington 1/2 California Gold Charm
MS67 NGC. Baker-505 (1885 edition). A flashy yellow-gold
octagonal example that displays the expected slight softness of
strike on the central reverse.

SO-CALLED DOLLAR
GSA DOLLARS
945 (1897) Bickford Dollar, HK-835, MS67 NGC. Aluminum
with a brass center. Listed as “very rare” in the original Hibler-
Kappen reference. New York City resident Dana Bickford traveled
to Europe, where he had difficulty exchanging dollars into foreign
currency. This experience led him to lobby the U.S. Mint to
produce patterns, such as the famous Stellas of 1879 and 1880. He
continued his cause in 1897 with a series of informational medals.
Lustrous and immaculate with attractive gold and green toning on
the brass center.

Capped Die VAM-3 1879-CC Dollar
In Black GSA Holder, MS61
949 1879-CC Capped Die MS61 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety.
A strongly lustrous silver-gray example with considerable frostiness
to the luster. Numerous tiny abrasions are present on the obverse,
including at Liberty’s cheek, though the reverse is comparatively
clean. Band-certified in the black GSA holder of issue with box
and certificate. (#7088)
950 1882-CC GSA Hoard MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. A
staggering 605,029 examples of the 1882-CC were in the GSA
holdings and finally distributed in the 1970s. Most were low
grade because of heavy abrasions. This is a lovely Gem that has
extraordinarily deep fields on each side. The devices are heavily
frosted and present strong contrast against the “blackness” of the
fields. Fully struck. Band-certified in the original black GSA holder
of issue. No box is included.(#97135)
951 1885-CC MS65 NGC. Light peach-gray patina visits strongly
cartwheeled surfaces that offer a hint of frosty sparkle over the
devices. This CC-mint Gem is band-certified in the black holder of
issue with accompanying box and certificate. (#7160)

toned example of this later Carson City Morgan dollar issue,

EARLY HALF DIMES
Popular 1795 Half Dime
VF30, V4, LM-8
953 1795 VF30 AN ACS. V-5, LM-8, R.3. This variety, familiar to
specialists, features a die crack through the 7 in the date and the
Y in LIBERTY. Ocean-blue and sun-gold enrich the moderately
abraded and slightly wavy surfaces. All legends are bold aside from
the top of OF. Certified in an ANA cache holder. (#4251)
XF 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime
V4, LM-8
954 1795 XF40 NGC. CAC. V-5, LM-8, R.3. The slender die crack
from Liberty’s nose through the Y in LIBERTY is familiar to
specialists, but is not diagnostic, since V-6 shares the same obverse
die and crack. This mark-free dove-gray half dime has pleasing
detail and will satisfy type demand for most collectors. Struck from
rotated dies. (#4251)
Attractive 1797 13 Stars Half Dime
Rare V-l, LM-4 Variety, XF40
955 1797 13 Stars XF40 PCGS. V-l, LM-4, R.6. LM-4, the only die
marriage with 13 stars, is the rarest 1797 half dime variety. PCGS
and NGC combined have certified just 30 examples of this variety
in all levels of preservation.
A medley of violet, reddish-gold, and mint-green patination
bathes both sides of this lovely XF specimen, joined by an occasional
splash of crimson on the obverse. Relatively strong, uniform
definition is seen on the design elements. A minor planchet defect
on Liberty’s nose and one in the adjacent field do not detract.
Population for LM-4: 4 in 40, 9 finer (12/09). (#4260)

Rare 13 Stars 1797 Half Dime
Choice XF, VH, \MA
956 1797 13 Stars XF45 PCGS. V-l, LM-4, R.6. The rarest die
marriage of the year, and also the only Valentine variety with 13
stars. Golden-brown, forest-green, and dove-gray blend across this
minimally worn example. Two inconspicuous vertical abrasions are
concealed within the hair, and the obverse field has a few faint thin
marks. Population: 4 in 45, 5 finer (1/10). (#4260)
XF40 15 Stars 1797 Half Dime, V^2, LMH
957 1797 15 Stars XF40 PCGS. V-2, LM-1, R.3. V-2 is the sole
die pairing with 15 stars and thus receives a separate Guide Book
listing. Principally toned in honey-gold and cherry-red, although
portions of the reverse border are navy-blue. Well detailed and
appealing, with minor inexactness of strike at the centers. Housed
in a green label holder. (#4258)
Pleasing 1805 Half Dime, V-l, LM-1, AU58
958 1805 AU58 PCGS. V-l, LM-1, R.4. The 1805 half dime is an
extremely scarce issue, with a reported mintage of 15,600 pieces
produced from a single known die pairing. It is the last Heraldic
Eagle Reverse issue, since the next striking of half dimes would
not occur until 24 years later, of the Capped Bust design by Chief
Engraver William Kneass. The Logan-McCloskey half dime
reference (1998) indicates that the 1805 is “rare in grades above
VF and almost never available in grades approaching Mint State.”
The present near-Mint State offering is the finest grade one
can expect to locate, as a single Mint State specimen has thus far
been certified. A splash or two of violet visits the predominately
soft olive-green obverse, while the two colors show about equal
coverage on the reverse. A sharply struck and remarkably clean
example. Population: 4 in 58, 0 finer (12/09). (#4272)
BUST HALF DIMES
959 1830 MS64 PCGS. V-10, LM-1, R.4. This unabraded and satiny
Gem is richly patinated with a palette of forest-green, plum-red,
and tan-gold. The centers show moderate incompleteness of strike,
but the technical quality is exceptional.(#4277)
960 1832 MS64 PCGS. V-8, LM-5, R.l. A lustrous near-Gem example
of this popular and available die pair, champagne-orange and
silver-gray overall with pockets of deep blue at the reverse margins.
Housed in a green label holder.(#4279)
961 1832 MS64 PCGS. CAC. V-l, LM-3, R.l. This Choice Mint
State half dime is housed in a green-label PCGS holder. It features
frosty luster beneath ivory patina with steel-blue, lilac, and green-
gold toning. (#4279)

SEATED HALF DIMES
MS65 1832 Half Dime, V-8, LM-5
962 1832 MS65 NGC. V-8, LM-5, R.l. An unworn example of this
available Bust half dime die pair, strongly struck and impressively
lustrous beneath rich blue-green and violet patina. Minimally
marked overall, though an old pinscratch (since toned-over)
is visible in the field above and to the right of Liberty’s cap.
(#4279)
963 1835 Large Date, Large 5C MS64 Prooflike NGC. CAC. V-2,
LM-1, R-2. There is a thick die crack with lumps along the top
of the scroll below ITE, the right (facing) wing of the eagle shows
a heavy die crack which extends down its length, and additional
spidery breaks are found on many of the reverse lettering and
devices, all of which are typical of the variety. Hints of barely
discernible light tan show at the margins and well struck design
features are highlighted by the Prooflike fields. A minute rim ding
is noted at 9:00 on the obverse. One of only two Prooflike examples
graded by NGC (1/10).(#4282)
Gem 1835 Half Dime, V-3, LM-3
Large Date and 5C
964 1835 Large Date, Large 5C MS65 NGC. V-3, LM-3, R.l. This
lustrous high grade Capped Bust type coin displays sea-green and
plum-mauve shades throughout the peripheries. The devices and
fields are predominantly pearl-gray. Crisply struck and minimally
abraded. Struck from clashed dies that exhibit several fine cracks.
(#4282)
965 1837 Large 5C PCGS Genuine. V-5, LM-3, R.6. The PCGS
number ending in .GN suggests an unknown reason why PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of a VG specimen that has a repair and environmental
damage. Although evenly micro-granular, this example displays
most letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the letters in LIBERTY
are faintly evident when inspected beneath a loupe. Repaired left
of the 5C, with a flattened appearance opposite on star 7. A hair-
thin diagonal line on the bust, probably a lamination, is barely
worthy of mention. (#4289)
966 1837 Large 5C VF20 PCGS. V-5, LM-3, R.6. The rarest
Logan-McCloskey 1836 variety, distinguished by a recut C in
AMERICA and a low 3 in the date. The walnut-brown surfaces
appear unblemished. All legends are bold, and most star centrils
are visible. Softly impressed near the left border of the shield.
(#4289)
Splendid MS66 1837 Seated Half Dime
Large Date, No Stars
967 1837 No Stars, Large Date (Curl Top 1) MS66 NGC. Honey-
gold and ivory-gray cede to deeper forest-green and plum-red near
the rims. A satiny and crisply struck Premium Gem with nary an
indication of abrasions. The first year of the Seated half dime, and
the only year that the No Stars subtype was coined at Philadelphia.
(#4311)
968 1838 Large Stars, No Drapery MS65 PCGS. Lustrous and
unabraded with medium olive and golden-russet toning. Sharply
struck save for the leaf near the H in HALE The lower reverse
has a few trivial flecks. Population: 52 in 65, 24 finer (12/09).
(#4317)
969 1841-0 MS63 PCGS. Medium O. This lovely half dime has frosty
silver luster with light champagne toning on both sides. Heavy
clash marks on each side add to its overall desirability. Here is
an excellent opportunity for the advanced collector that knows
the difficulty of the issue. Population: 3 in 63, 6 finer (1/10).
(#4329)
970 1844-0 XF40 PCGS. CAC. Small O. Two mintmark sizes are
known despite a low New Orleans mintage of 220,000 pieces.
Light gold and lilac toning visits this well defined and moderately
abraded half dime. Struck with close to medal turn, and certified
in a green label holder. Population: 3 in 40, 25 finer (12/09).
(#4334)
Appealing 1847 Half Dime, MS66
971 1847 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Soft violet, mauve, orange, and sky-
blue patina resides on the lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem. A
solid uniform strike adds to the coin’s pleasing eye appeal, as do the
well preserved surfaces. An inoffensive hair-thin mark on Liberty’s
cheek is mentioned for complete accuracy. Population: 15 in 66, 2
finer (12/09). (#4337)

Well Struck 1848-0 Half Dime, MS66
972 1848-0 MS66 NGC. Large O. Greenish-gold and orange
peripheral toning is joined by splashes of reddish-gold on the
reverse margins. The design elements are sharply struck except for
minor weakness in the leaf ribbing of the upper left wreath. Both
sides have been well cared for. A minute mark on Liberty’s jaw
might help to identify the coin. Census: 17 in 66, 3 finer (12/09).
(#4340)
973 1851 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Freckles of light tan-gold run over both
sides of this well struck Gem, and partially prooflike fields yield
modest variance with the devices. Housed in a green label holder.
Population: 11 in 65, 17 finer (12/09).(#4347)
974 1853 Arrows MS66 NGC. Lustrous white surfaces display just
the slightest hint of gold color on the obverse. Sharply struck
and lacking any noticeable marks. The surfaces show significant
evidence of metal flow from well-worn dies. Census: 52 in 66, 19
finer (1/10).(#4356)
Delicately Patinated 1858 Half Dime, MS67
975 1858 MS67 PCGS. Mint-green, orange, gray, orange-tan, crimson,
and sky-blue toning covers the lustrous surfaces of this Superb
Gem. The design elements are sharply struck except for Liberty’s
head. Light clash marks are visible on each side but post-strike
impairments are lacking. Population: 11 in 67, 1 finer (1/10).
(#4367)
Superb Gem 1860 Half Dime
First Year of the Legend Obverse
976 1860 MS67 NGC. First year of the new Legend Obverse design
and a highly collectible coin as such. Both sides of this piece show
evidence of die striations, which usually imparts reflectivity, and
indeed here the fields are brighter than the devices. The centers
are generally free from toning, while the margins display deeper
gray-russet and sea-green patina. The design elements are fully
stuck in all areas. Census: 22 in 67, 7 finer (1/10). (#4377)
977 1862 MS66 NGC. Beige-gray peripheral patination frames aqua-
blue and lilac centers. Lustrous surfaces are well preserved and
exhibit sharply impressed design elements. This is a highly pleasing
Civil War-era half dime. Census: 39 in 66, 24 finer (12/09).
(#4381)
Key Date 1864 Half Dime, MS67
978 1864 MS67 PCGS. The 1864 is one of the key dates of the
Seated half dime series. A1 Blythe (1992) writes that the reported
mintage of 48,000 business strikes is “highly suspect.” In any event,
fewer than 100 survivors are estimated to exist in all grades. Hints
of light peripheral tan color adhere to the highly lustrous, well
preserved surfaces of this Superb Gem. Well struck except for
weakness in the upper left wreath. Both sides are moderately clash
marked. Population: 2 in 67, 0 finer (12/09). (#4384)
979 1868 MS64 PCGS. CAC. A coruscating near-Gem that provides
light autumn-gold and slate toning. Marks are surprisingly scarce.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a high quality example of
this low mintage issue. Population: 11 in 64, 24 finer (1/10).
(#4392)
980 1871-S MS64 PCGS. Light bluish-gray patination adorns this
near-Gem S-mint half dime. This well struck piece displays soft
luster emanating from minimally marked surfaces. Population: 26
in 64, 8 finer (1/10). (#4399)
981 1872-S Mintmark Below Bow MS66 PCGS. This boldly struck
Premium Gem displays a melange of low intensity violet, ice-blue,
and gold patination that assumes slightly deeper shades on the
reverse. Highly lustrous surfaces are nicely preserved. More difficult
than the “Above Wreath” variety. Population: 42 in 66, 8 finer
(1/10).(#4401)

PROOF SEATED HALF DIMES
982 1859 PR63 PCGS. The 800 proof half dimes of 1859 were part
of the first silver proof set year to have production exceeding 500
units. This Select proof has strong mirrors beneath light mauve and
silver-gray patina. A contact mark is visible in the right obverse
field. (#4438)
983 1863 PR64 Cameo PCGS. The obverse is lightly toned in violet,
purple, and gold, leaving the reverse essentially untoned. Heavy
die polish lines are visible in the fields, especially those of the
reverse. Frosty devices exhibit strong definition. Population: 8 in
64 Cameo, 7 finer (1/10).(#84446)
Wonderful 1864 PR65 Ultra Cameo Half Dime
984 1864 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. Surviving 1864 proof half dimes
are much scarcer than the 470-piece mintage might suggest.
Moreover, Cameos are highly elusive, especially those in the
Ultra/Deep category. Indeed, this Gem is tied for one of only two
Ultras certified by NGC. Untoned surfaces are sharply struck and
impeccably preserved. A small planchet defect in the rock is visible
above the 4 in the date. (#94447)
985 1868 PR65 NGC. Deep shades of blue and iridescent toning
enhance the eye appeal of this elusive Gem proof. Both sides
are sharply struck. The obverse has mirrored fields around frosty
devices, while the reverse has a satiny look. Census: 24 in 65, 20
finer (1/10).(#4451)
986 1868 PR66 NGC. CAC. A gorgeous Premium Gem proof with
splashes of gold, turquoise, and iridescent toning on both sides.
The fields are fully mirrored around lustrous devices, creating an
excellent cameo appearance, though this is unreflected on the
holder. Census: 15 in 66, 4 finer (10/09).(#4451)
EARLY DIMES
Pleasing 1796 JR-6 Dime, Good 4
987 1796 Good 4 PCGS. JR-6, R.3. The obverse has the diagnostic die
break through the date. A pleasing light to medium gray example
of the popular first-year dime produced at the young Philadelphia
Mint. This piece has light surface roughness, but all of the design
motifs are fully defined. (#4461)

Impressive 1796 Dime, JR-6, MS64 ★ Prooflike
Ex: Ed Price Collection
988 1796 MS64 ★ Prooflike NGC. Ex: Ed Price Collection. JR-6,
R.3. There are two key diagnostics for this variety: all of the
letters in LIBERTY are separated, and there is a thick die crack
that extends horizontally through the 17 in the date. In this
later state of the dies, the crack lengthens from the rim along
the left side of 9, upward onto Liberty’s neck, through the hair
and the upper left obverse field to star 8. On the reverse, another
prominent crack appears along the rim near 10 o’clock, angling
diagonally downward between ST in STATES, through the left
branch to the top of the eagle’s left (facing) wing, across the
right wing and branch to the left side of M, then to the rim.
According to the John Reich Collectors Society reference
work on early U.S. dimes (1984), there were 10,244 examples
of this die marriage produced: 3,864 pieces on February 28,
1797, and 6,380 coins on March 21, 1797. These JR-6 examples
were struck in addition to the 22,135 pieces that constitute the
official mintage figure for 1796-dated dimes, pushing the actual
mintage number to 32,359 coins (this information is credited
to researcher Robert P. Hilt II, among others). The authors
estimate, further, that representatives of the JR-6 variety
account for approximately 30% of all 1796 dimes extant.
This near-Gem is in a much better state of preservation
than the usual survivors, which tend to appear in grades
ranging from Good to Very Fine, and are often impaired by
improper cleaning or other problems. Lovely electric-turquoise
toning occurs near the peripheries, mingling with gold, rose,
and violet iridescence. The design elements are sharply struck,
save for typical softness on the eagle, and there are no readily
visible marks or blemishes on either side of this impressive
specimen. This is the only JR-6 graded with a Star designation
and certified as Prooflike (12/09). (#4461)

SEATED DIMES
Challenging 13 Stars 1797 Dime
JR-2, VF25
989 1797 13 Stars VF25 PCGS. JR-2, R.4. Vividly toned in fire-red,
lavender, and aquamarine shades. Liberty’s cheek and shoulder
exhibit wear, but the hair and wing plumage are well detailed, and
consequential marks are absent. Housed in a green label holder.
Population: 3 in 25, 38 finer (12/09). (#4463)
990 1807 VF25 PCGS. CAC. JR-1, R.2. A pleasing mid-grade
example of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle design, this 1807 dime
has natural medium gray surfaces with lighter ivory on the high
points. A few faint scratches and other microscopic blemishes are
consistent with the grade. (#4480)
BUST DIMES
Gem 1825 Dime, JR-3
991 1825 MS65 NGC. JR-3, R.3. The obverse is appreciably clashed
and cracked through the lower obverse, while the reverse shows
bold recutting on the A in STATES, the most prominent diagnostic
for the side. This Gem example is brightly lustrous with pale silver
surfaces. A degree of striking softness is visible through the stars to
the left of Liberty’s cap and in the shield area on the reverse, but the
rest of the coin is relatively well-defined. For coins not specifically
attributed, Census: 7 in 65, 2 finer (12/09). (#4503)
JR-7 1834 Small 4 Dime, MS66
992 1834 Small 4 MS66 NGC. JR-7, R.2. The sole Small 4 die pair
for the year, distinguished by the long, undamaged serif on the
rightmost digit of the date. A colorful and lustrous coin with
green and blue-violet outer toning and plum and tan patina at the
interiors, with the obverse showing a loosely concentric pattern.
Census: 5 in 66, 7 finer (1/10). (#4525)
993 1838-0 No Stars AU50 PCGS. Soft bluish-gray and champagne
patina resides on the surfaces of this well defined O-mint
representative. Minor obverse rim bruises occur at 4:00 and 10:00
and a couple of light scrapes are located in the lower right reverse
quadrant. (#45 64)
Sharply Struck 1839 No Drapery Gem Dime
994 1839 No Drapery MS65 NGC. The No Drapery dime, with
stars on the obverse, was only produced from 1838 through 1839,
and during part of 1840, making this a desirable three-year type
for collectors. This lustrous Gem features soft golden-gray patina
and sharply struck design motifs. A couple of trivial marks are
unimportant. Census: 26 in 65, 34 finer (1/10). (#4571)
Important 1853 Arrows Dime, MS66
995 1853 Arrows MS66 NGC. The Arrows edition of the 1853
dime, with its mintage of slightly over 12 million pieces, has long
been popular with type enthusiasts. This Premium Gem example
should find favor, with its light silver-white central luster and glints
of gold and tan near the rims. Census: 42 in 66, 14 finer (1/10).
(#4603)
996 1857 MS65 NGC. This fully brilliant Gem has satiny silver luster.
The design definition is a trifle weak, rather common for the date.
However, the surfaces and luster are first-rate. Census: 35 in 65, 13
finer (1/10).(#4614)
997 1866 MS63 PCGS. The semiprooflike fields of this Select example
display relatively strong contrast with the frosty, well defined design
elements. Whispers of light gray visit both sides, each of which
reveals fewer marks than what might be expected for the designated
grade. Population: 8 in 63, 15 finer (1/10).(#4643)
998 1876 MS65 NGC. CAC. Type One Reverse. Sky-blue, rose,
and gold-beige patina runs over both sides of this Gem, and
semiprooflike fields highlight the mildly frosted, sharply struck
design elements. A shallow mark on Liberty’s neck is well concealed
in the toning. Great overall eye appeal. Census: 42 in 65, 28 finer
(1/10).(#4679)
999 1877 MS65 PCGS. Type One Reverse. Fortin-107, his “Lazy” I
variety. Housed in a green-label PCGS holder, this Gem 1877 dime
has a prooflike obverse and a frosty reverse. The obverse is brilliant
with subtle gold toning while the reverse is untoned, other than
a few tiny brownish spots. Population: 14 in 65, 12 finer (1/10).

Brilliant MS67 1879 Dime
Low Mintage of Only 14,000 Business Strikes
1000 1879 MS67 NGC. The 1879 dime has the lowest regular mintage
in the entire run of Legend Obverse series, with only 14,000 pieces
struck. This impressive example displays glowing, semiprooflike
fields on each side. The surfaces are brilliant throughout, and the
striking details are fully brought up. Exceptionally clean, as one
would expect from an MS67. Census: 28 in 67, 3 finer (1/10).

1001 1882 MS66 NGC. Greenish-gold patina concentrates at the
obverse margins of this pleasing Premium Gem and is scattered
over the reverse, where it is joined by tints of red-orange. Lustrous
surfaces exhibit well struck devices save for minor softness in the
hair atop Liberty’s head. Devoid of mentionable marks. Census: 42
in 66, 28 finer (12/09).(#4690)
Amazing MS67 1884 Dime
1002 1884 MS67 NGC. A subtly lustrous, richly patinated Superb
Gem representative of this later Seated dime issue, ideal for the
toned type set. Green-gold elements prevail at the margins, while
the centers have more blue-green patina as well as boldly defined
devices. Census: 24 in 67, 5 finer (1/10). (#4692)
1003 1888 MS65 PCGS. Light golden-tan toning adorns this lustrous
and nicely struck Gem. Essentially devoid of marks, and a desirable
addition to a high grade 19th century type set. Certified in a green
label holder. Population: 41 in 65, 24 finer (1/10).(#4700)
1004 1891 MS66 PCGS. Solidly struck with gorgeous blue-green,
gold, and violet colors that are more extensive and deeper on the
reverse. An attractive example of this high-mintage Seated dime
issue, one always popular with type collectors.(#4706)
1005 1860 PR65 Cameo PCGS. PCGS and NGC have certified
approximately 300 of the 1,000 proof dimes minted in 1860 and
have assigned the Cameo label to about 50 specimens. The virtually
white surfaces of this Gem Cameo display profound contrast,
along with exquisitely struck design elements. Both sides lack
mentionable marks. Population: 3 in 65 Cameo, 6 finer (12/09).
(#84753)
Elegant PR66 Cameo 1864 Dime
1006 1864 PR66 Cameo PCGS. Bold champagne and orange hues
take on additional rose elements at the lower and left reverse.
Prominently mirrored and carefully preserved with charming
contrast, thanks to light to medium frost over the devices. This
Civil War-era date is hard to find in such a high grade. Population:
6 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (1/10). (#84757)
1007 1869 PR65 PCGS. CAC. Attractive chestnut-gold, electric-blue,
and lime-green toning drape this nicely mirrored Gem. The strike
is precise aside from a few cereal grains on the upper left portion of
the wreath, and the surfaces are exemplary apart from a faint graze
beneath DIME. Population: 19 in 65, 3 finer (12/09).(#4762)
1008 1873 No Arrows, Closed 3 PR64 NGC. A sharply struck and
detraction-free Choice proof. Mostly brilliant, although glimpses of
sun-gold and cobalt-blue visit the upper reverse periphery. Census:
46 in 64, 37 finer (1/10).(#4766)
1009 1873 Closed 3, No Arrows PR66 Cameo NGC. Close to an
Ultra Cameo designation, since the frost is thick throughout the
devices, and the field exhibit pleasing reflectivity. An intricately
struck Gem that has peripheral indications of russet-gold patina.
Census: 3 in 66 Cameo, 3 finer (1/10).(#84766)
Iridescent 1873 Arrows Dime, PR66
1010 1873 Arrows PR66 NGC. The 1873 Arrows dime is the first of
a two-year modification to the Legend obverse design, and it is
highly desired by type collectors. This Premium Gem has excellent
contrast beneath pale gold and iridescent toning. Census: 8 in 66, 3
finer (1/10). (#4769)
1011 1875 PR66 Cameo NGC. Bright silver-white centers present a
bold cameo effect, while rich champagne and violet peripheral
tints offer contrast of their own. Carefully preserved and gorgeous.
Census: 13 in 66 Cameo, 4 finer (12/09).(#84772)
1012 1881 PR65 PCGS. A stunning Gem with original blue and
iridescent toning over fully mirrored fields. Brighter surfaces would
probably allow for a cameo designation, although we like this
piece just the way it is. Population: 48 in 65, 14 finer (1/10).
(#4778)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
1013 1885 PR67 NGC. CAC. Attractive cobalt-blue, yellow-gold, and
lavender patination runs over both sides of this Superb Gem proof,
and a well executed strike imparts strong definition to the design
elements, save for the typical minor weakness in the upper left
wreath. Exquisitely preserved and exhibiting a degree of field-motif
contrast. Census: 12 in 67, 3 finer (12/09). (#4782)
1014 1885 PR65 Cameo NGC. Cobalt-blue, lavender, and gold-orange
toning resides on the borders of this Gem proof and the sharply
struck, frosted design motifs are highlighted by the mirrored fields.
Devoid of mentionable handling marks.(#84782)
Pleasing 1885 Dime, PR67 Cameo
1015 1885 PR67 Cameo NGC. An essentially untoned Superb Gem
proof with notable field-motif contrast, confirming the Cameo
designation. Well struck, including most of Liberty’s head, an area
that is generally weak; minor softness is noted on the upper left
wreath. Carefully preserved throughout. Census: 28 in 67 Cameo, 5
finer (12/09). (#84782)
Magnificent PR68 ★ Cameo 1885 Dime
1016 1885 PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. The PR68 ★ Cameo grade says much
about this coin, which combines splendidly contrasting, pristine
silver-white surfaces with tremendous eye appeal. The strike is
somewhat blunt on Liberty’s head and foot. The only identifying
mark for pedigree purposes is a small threadlike strike-through
projecting into the field from the left bottom serif of the 1 in the
date. Census: 1 in 68 ★ Cameo, none finer (1/10). (#84782)
Stunning 1889 Dime, PR66 Cameo
1018 1889 PR66 Cameo NGC. Laint traces of champagne toning grace
the surfaces of this boldly defined Premium Gem Cameo proof.
Both sides have exceptionally deep mirrors around satiny devices.
This is a stunning piece with only a few equals. Census: 6 in 66
Cameo, 5 finer (1/10). (#84786)
1019 1891 PR65 Cameo NGC. Purplish toning with orange accents
takes on slightly deeper hues on the obverse of this lovely
Gem Proof. Strong definition characterizes the design features,
all of which are highlighted by the mirrored fields. Exquisitely
preserved throughout. Census: 13 in 65 Cameo, 20 finer (1/10).
(#84788)
BARBER DIMES
Richly Toned MS67 1892 Barber Dime
1020 1892 MS67 NGC. This first-year Superb Gem displays spectacular
electric-blue, purple-red, and gold patina that occurs in a mottled
fashion on both sides. Intense luster shimmers over the undisturbed
surfaces, that reveal crisply made design features throughout. A
beautiful and technically impressive Barber dime. Census: 22 in 67,
0 finer (1/10). (#4796)
1021 1896 MS65 PCGS. Soft golden-tan patination adheres to the
lustrous surfaces of this sharply struck Barber dime. A handful
of minuscule obverse marks are concealed within the toning.
Population: 15 in 65, 10 finer (12/09).(#4809)
1022 1897 MS66 NGC. Attractive luster endows this sharply struck
Premium Gem. Well preserved surfaces exhibit distributed freckles
of light gray. Census: 25 in 66, 6 finer (12/09).(#4812)
1023 1902-S MS64 PCGS. Silver-white surfaces have been in receipt
of a decisive strike and display pleasing luster. Minute marks on
Liberty’s portrait limit the grade. Population: 15 in 64, 17 finer
(1/10).(#4829)
1017 1888 PR66 Cameo NGC. Starkly contrasting devices and fields
make this a wonderful example of this popular, late-date Seated
dime. The surfaces are mostly brilliant but there is a slight accent
of golden patina also present. (#84785)

Outstanding 1903-0 Dime, MS66
1024 1903-0 MS66 PCGS. CAC. An impressive Premium Gem
example of the high-mintage 1903-0 Barber dime, a condition
rarity seldom found in Gem condition. Nearly all of the more than
8 million coins minted were released to circulation. This splendid
Premium Gem is fully lustrous, with brilliant surfaces beneath
ivory and iridescent toning. Population: 4 in 66, 0 finer (1/10).
(#4831)
Well Struck 1905-0 Dime, MS66
1025 1905-0 MS66 PCGS. CAC. This New Orleans issue is seldom
seen in the better levels of Mint State, and when located is often
weakly struck. A better-than-average strike characterizes this
lustrous, well cared-for Premium Gem. Hints of sea-green and
golden-beige patina rest on each side. Population: 16 in 66, 6 finer
(12/09). (#4836)
1026 1907-D MS65 PCGS. Deep forest-green and golden-brown toning
embraces this satiny and razor-sharp Gem. Devoid of contact,
and among the nicest survivors of this early Denver Mint issue.
Population: 6 in 65 Cameo, 7 finer (12/09).(#4843)
1027 1908-0 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Bold green-gold and orange colors
are present at parts of the rims. The obverse has a violet-gray
center, while the reverse shows paler silver. Population: 24 in 65,
11 finer (12/09).(#4848)
1028 1909-S MS64 PCGS. A beautiful Choice piece that has strong,
pleasing luster on each side. Light gold patination occupies the
obverse, leaving the reverse untoned. Localized weakness is noted
on the design elements. Faint slide marks are visible on the obverse
portrait. Population: 17 in 64, 13 finer (12/09).(#4853)
Surprisingly Scarce 1914-S Dime, MS66
1029 1914-S MS66 PCGS. This better date S-mint had a mintage
of only 2.1 million pieces. In spite of its late date, few examples
were set aside in high grade. This piece shows the bright, thick
mint luster that one would expect from a San Francisco product.
The surfaces are brilliant except for a few tiny specks of russet
and charcoal on each side. Well, but not completely struck up.
Population: 11 in 66, 1 finer (1/10). (#4867)
PROOF BARBER DIMES
Sharp 1893 Ten Cent, PR67
1030 1893 PR67 NGC. CAC. Medium intensity cobalt-blue toning
bathes the obverse of this Superb Gem proof, while champagne-
gold patina in the reverse center is flanked by purple and gold-
brown at the periphery. Relatively strong field-motif contrast shows
on both sides when the coin is rotated slightly under a light source.
A solid strike brings out strong definition on all of the design
elements. Well preserved throughout. Census: 18 in 67, 7 finer
(12/09). (#4877)
1031 1895 PR64 PCGS. The 1895 proof Barber dime is popular on a
couple counts. First is its association with the 1895 proof Morgan
dollars, a premier 19th century railroad. Second is the associated
rarity of business strikes that are seldom encountered. Both sides of
this beauty have mirrored fields masked by deep blue and iridescent
toning. (#4879)
1032 1897 PR65 PCGS. CAC. This stunning Gem proof has
considerable cameo contrast hidden beneath the iridescent toning
on each side. The fields are fully and visibly mirrored with full gold,
lilac, and blue-green toning. Population: 44 in 65, 48 finer (12/09).
(#4881)
1033 1897 PR66 Cameo NGC. Profoundly mirrored with stunning
contrast. Light silver-gray color overall with green-gold at the
right margins, as well as thin streaks of milky toning through the
center of the reverse. Census: 18 in 66 Cameo, 22 finer (12/09).

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
1037 1910 PR66 Cameo NGC. A visually impressive type coin, the
surfaces show deeply reflective mirrors on each side that contrast
strongly against the frosted mint luster seen over the devices. There
are no reportable contact marks on either side of this brilliant coin,
just a tiny planchet flake toward the back of Liberty’s neck. Only
551 proofs were minted of this date. Census: 4 in 66 Cameo, 8 finer
(1/10). (#84894)
1041 1876 MS65 NGC. The 1876 twenty cent comes from a low
business strike mintage of 14,640 pieces. Concentric rings of
violet, greenish-gold, electric-blue, and lavender patina adorn the
lustrous surfaces of this Gem, and an exacting strike delivers strong
definition to the design elements. Nicely preserved throughout.
Census: 36 in 65, 21 finer (1/10). (#5299)
Seemingly Perfect PR68 1898 Barber Dime
TWENTY CENT PIECES
1038 1875-CC—Stained—NGC. Unc. Details. This lightly toned
Carson City type coin shimmers with luster, and is refreshingly
unabraded. The strike is incomplete only on the lower left portion
of the rock, and opposite on the top of the left (facing) wing. Hints
of tan-gray toning appear mildly granular when viewed beneath a
loupe. (#5 297)
Appealing MS64 1875-CC Twenty Cent
1035 1898 PR66 Cameo NGC. An incredible Premium Gem Cameo
proof with fully brilliant silver surfaces and no evidence of toning
on either side. The deeply mirrored fields set off the frosty devices
of this beauty, a borderline Ultra Cameo proof. Census: 16 in 66
Cameo, 27 finer (1/10). (#84882)
Gorgeous Gem 1875-S Twenty Cent
1036 1909 PR66 PCGS. Splashes of low intensity multicolored toning
run over the well cared for surfaces of this Premium Gem. An
exquisitely struck proof. Population: 24 in 66, 19 finer (1/10).
(#4893)
Flashy Cameo PR66 1910 Barber Dime
1040 1875-S MS65 PCGS. Pink, gold, and violet elements add to
swirling luster with elements of frost and satin. Well struck overall
and carefully preserved, an excellent Gem representative of this
S-mint twenty cent issue long celebrated by type enthusiasts.
PCGS has certified 60 finer examples (1/10). (#5298)
Toned Gem 1876 Twenty Cent Piece
1034 1898 PR68 NGC. The collector can expect a finer product,
grade for grade, in any type coin dated 1898. This dime is a perfect
example. The surfaces appear to be flawless. The fields are deeply
reflective on each side and backlight the streaky, multicolored
toning that is interspersed with occasional areas of original
brilliance. Obviously original. There are only six other coins
that have been so graded by NGC and none are finer (1/10).
(#4882)
Brilliant 1898 Barber Dime, PR66 Cameo
1039 1875-CC MS64 PCGS. Subtle, swirling luster filters through
rich orange, silver-blue, and umber-rose patina. This Carson City
near-Gem is solidly struck and uncommonly well-preserved for that
Mint’s limited output of twenty cent pieces. PCGS has certified a
mere 24 finer representatives (1/10). (#5297)

1044 1878 PR64 Cameo NGC. Frosty, sharply struck devices appear to
float over the deep watery fields of this near-Gem Cameo twenty
cent piece. Whispers of grayish-tan adhere to the edges of some of
the obverse design features, while hints of reddish-gold are noted
on portions of the reverse. Some wispy handling marks limit the
grade. Census: 15 in 64 Cameo, 20 finer (1/10). (#85306)
EARLY QUARTERS
Famous 1796 Quarter, B-l
1043 1876 PR64 NGC. The proof mintage in this second year was less
than half that of the debut 1875’s production. A medley of aqua-
blue, lavender, and yellow-orange toning bathes this near-Gem
proof, and a solid strike imparts strong definition to the design
features. Occasional fine hairlines are all that stand in the way of a
finer numerical grade. Nevertheless, this coin exudes pleasing eye
appeal. Housed in a former generation holder. Census: 70 in 64, 32
finer (12/09).
From The Stan Burger Collection, Part Two. (#5304)
1046 1804 AG3 PCGS. CAC. B-l, R.3. Even in this coin’s heavily
worn state, the usual die scratch is visible between the two stars
closest to the Y in LIBERTY. Slate-blue and medium-gray colors
prevail, with the latter color in parts of the fields and on the
devices. The lower reverse is nearly smooth, but the coin displays
well. (#5312)
PROOF TWENTY CENT PIECES
Gem Cameo Proof 1875 Twenty Cent
Sharply Struck 1878 Twenty Cent, PR64 Cameo
Appealing 1876 Twenty Cent, PR64
1042 1875 PR65 Cameo PCGS. The twenty cent piece enjoyed a
massive official proof mintage in 1875, the first year of the design.
The 2,790 specimens struck account for well over half of the total
mintage of twenty cent proofs in the Mint’s record books. Of the
survivors, surprisingly few combine the considerable cameo effect
and careful surface preservation offered by this Gem. Moderately
mirrored silver-white fields offer considerable contrast to the snowy
devices. While a number of die-polish lines are present in the
fields, post-striking flaws are minimal. Population: 5 in 65 Cameo,
2 finer (12/09). (#85303)
1045 1796 PCGS Genuine. B-l, R.4. Tompkins Die State 3/3. The
PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or
perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not
gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an Fine
specimen with reverse damage. The upper reverse has two small
roundish digs, one between the ES in STATES and the other
northwest of the O in OF. The second small dig may account for
the flattened appearance of the obverse border at 5:30. A dove-
gray example with minor granularity on the right obverse field.
(#5310)

Please visit HA.com to view other collectibles auctions
A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
Original 1804 B-l Quarter, AG3
1047 1804 AG3 PCGS. B-l, R.4. This entirely original quarter has the
central motifs outlined but worn smooth, with the borders merged
into the peripheral devices. Both sides have medium gray surfaces
with darker steel patina. This is an important key date in the early
quarter series, in demand regardless of its grade. (#5312)
Collectible 1804 Quarter, B-l, Good 4
1048 1804 Good 4 PCGS. B-l, High R.3. The less rare of only two
varieties for the year, B-l has a die scratch between stars 8 and 9.
Lavender-gray patina in the fields highlights the light gray devices.
The lower reverse legends are partly worn into the rim. However,
the shield lines are nearly fully separated and some plumage detail
is visible. The portrait has a few wispy slide marks, but there are no
unseemly contact marks. The 1804 is a key issue among the early
U.S. quarter dollars, from a mintage of only 6,738 coins. Housed in
a green label holder. (#5312)
1049 1806 PCGS Genuine. B-9, R.l. The PCGS number ending in
.94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of
the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our
opinion, this coin has the details of an Uncirculated specimen that
has altered surfaces. This partly lustrous Draped Bust quarter has
almond-gold and cream-gray toning. Portions of the devices are
softly brought up and display a mildly granular texture, which is also
seen on a shallow strike-through near obverse star 3.(#5314)
BUST QUARTERS
Boldly Defined 1820 Large 0 Quarter, B-2, MS64
1050 1820 Large 0 MS64 NGC. B-2, R.2. Star 1 points to the second
fold of drapery, and a die line connects the leaf point left of the
lower berry to the rim. An exacting strike imparts bold delineation
to the design elements and medium bluish-gray and golden-brown
patina covers both sides. A shallow, scalloped mark is noted in the
lower left obverse field. (#5329)
1051 1825/4/3 VF25 PCGS. CAC. B-2, R.l. An early die state with
no obvious die cracks on the reverse, although the crack from
the border to the left serif of the I in UNITED. This is the only
common variety of 1825 quarter, the one most often chosen for
type collections. This piece exhibits dark steel and medium gray
patina in the fields with lighter gray devices.(#5336)
1052 1825/4/3 AU50 PCGS. CAC. B-2, R.2. The slightly more
accessible 1825/4/3 die pair, distinguished by a reverse with
denomination high within the exergue. Peach and violet peripheral
tints give way to a luminous silver-gray center. (#5336)
1053 1831 Small Letters XF45 PCGS. B-3, R.5. A seldom encountered
Browning variety that shares a reverse die with the far more
common B-4. The obverse die was also used to produce the
plentiful B-2. This is a richly detailed piece with deep peach-gold
and steel-gray toning. The fields display subtle marks consistent
with the grade. (#5348)
1054 1831 Small Letters AU53 PCGS. B-3, R.5. Dark dove-gray
toning encompasses this well detailed and only lightly abraded Bust
quarter. B-3 is the rarest of the four 1831 Small Letters Browning
varieties, and most survivors are in well-worn grades. (#5348)
1055 1835 VF30 PCGS. CAC. B-8, High R.4. The rarest die pairing
for the date. Star 13 touches the bust, and a die crack rises between
the TE in STATES. Dusky cream-gray and olive-green toning
embraces this minimally abraded and nicely defined Bust quarter.
(#5354)
Elusive MS62 B-4 1836 Quarter
1056 1836 MS62 PCGS. B-4, R.4. Prominent bisecting die cracks on
both sides make attribution an easy task. Beautifully toned with
sea-green centers and rose-gold margins. Sharply struck and only
lightly abraded. Luster fills the borders and devices. Population: 7
in 62, 16 finer (12/09). (#5355)
SEATED QUARTERS
1057 1838 No Drapery XF40 PCGS. CAC. In a green label holder.
The first year of the Seated design on the quarter denomination,
although the motif appeared on Gobrecht dollars two years prior. A
richly detailed and lightly abraded XF example with blended olive-
gray and tan-gold toning. (#5391)
1058 1840-0 No Drapery AU55 NGC. Large O. The 8 in the date
is lightly repunched. Lovely powder-blue and apricot-gold bands
adorn the margins of this partly lustrous and sharply struck New
Orleans quarter. Scarce this close to Mint State. Census: 9 in 55,
45 finer (1/10).(#5393)
1059 1842 Large Date MS62 PCGS. Deep cream-gray and sun-gold
toning envelops this intricately struck low mintage quarter. Mildly
prooflike, and marks are limited to trivial contact on the upper
reverse field. Population: 6 in 62, 5 finer (12/09).(#5401)

Prized Small Date 1842-0 Quarter, VF30
1060 1842-0 Small Date VF30 PCGS. Briggs DA. Small Date dies
saw only limited use for quarters in 1842; Philadelphia used them
to strike proofs only, and New Orleans coined only a tiny fraction
of the year’s mintage with a Small Date obverse. This midrange
example of the latter issue is richly toned with faintly luminous
elements beneath the deep violet, slate-blue, and rose patina.
Minimally marked and attractive. (#5403)
Sharply Struck 1845 Quarter, MS65
1061 1845 MS65 NGC. The 1845 quarter is scarce in near-Gem
and rare any finer. Cobalt-blue and orange-gray patination takes
on splashes of lavender and golden-orange on the reverse. A
decisive strike sharpens the design features, and close inspection
reveals no marks of consequence. Census: 5 in 65, 1 finer (1/10).
(#5408)
Choice Mint State 1852 Quarter
1062 1852 MS64 PCGS. An early 1850s Seated quarter that has
survived from before the weight reduction of 1853. These low
mintage issues, in this case 177,060 coins, are rarities in higher
Mint State grades. This lovely Choice Mint State example has
satiny luster beneath gray, gold, and iridescent toning. Population:
10 in 64, 6 finer (12/09). (#5419)
‘Huge CP 1854-0 Quarter, Fine 15
A Popular, Hand-Engraved Variant
1063 1854-0 Huge O Fine 15 PCGS. FS-501, formerly FS-004. The
“Huge O” is immediately recognizable, and it is an immensely
popular variety. The mintmark was obviously hand-cut, and
crudely done. The obvious explanation is a non-mintmarked
die was shipped to New Orleans and an O was added by hand
engraving the mintmark directly into the die. This variety was not
appreciated until recent years, the proof of which is in the lack of
high grade survivors. This is an attractive coin for the grade with
pale gray surfaces and deeper gray patina around the margins. Each
side is evenly worn and the coin is well-balanced from side to side.
(#5434)
XF Sharpness 1854-0 Huge O Quarter
1064 1854-0 Huge O—Improperly Cleaned—NCS. XF Details.
FS-501, formerly FS-004. The famous Huge O Guide Book variety,
with an oversized and irregular mintmark, misshapen to the point of
being grotesque. While this minimally worn example was subjected
to a past cleaning, the margins show slight retoning in gold with
small zones of deep violet-crimson. (#5434)
Richly Toned MS65 1856 Quarter
1065 1856 MS65 NGC. Beautiful reddish-orange toning dominates
each side, although the upper reverse also offers cream-gray and
electric-blue. Luster shimmers across the minimally marked fields.
Nicely struck overall, with blending of detail seen on the fletchings,
hair, and upper stars. Encapsulated in a prior generation holder.
Census: 12 in 65, 4 finer (12/09). (#5438)

1066 1861 MS65 NGC. Type Two Obverse and Type Two Reverse,
with extra shield lines above E in LIBERTY and a convex eye on

grade-consistent field marks are noted on each side. Census: 31 in

1067 1867-S VF20 AN ACS. The 1867-S quarter, from a mintage of
48,000 pieces, is very scarce in all grades. Larry Briggs (1991) assigns
it a high R.5 rarity rating in F/VF. Light violet-gray, gold, and sky-
blue patina covers both sides of this VF specimen. Appropriately
defined, including full clarity in the letters of LIBERTY and
IN GOD WE TRUST. An unobtrusive hair-thin mark in the
right obverse field is in line with a piece having seen moderate
circulation. Highly appealing overall. (#5471)
1068 1872 MS63 NGC. The 1872 is a scarce issue in the Seated quarter
series from a mintage of only 182,000 coins. Mint State pieces are
especially difficult to find, and seem to be quite underrated in the
current market place. This lovely example has full design definition
with frosty devices and reflective fields, displaying gorgeous
iridescent toning. Census: 6 in 63, 8 finer (1/10).(#5481)
Amazingly Preserved MS68 1877 Quarter
1069 1877 MS68 NGC. Type Two Reverse. The 1877 is one of the
more available dates in the With Motto series. However, at the
MS68 level only a handful have survived from the mintage of 10.9
million pieces. This is an exceptionally attractive coin, as one
would imagine from the grade. The surfaces are brilliant throughout
and the luster glows with radiant mint frost. Perhaps there is an
abrasion on this coin somewhere, but we could not find it. Just
outstanding quality. Census: 7 in 68, 0 finer (1/10). (#5504)
1070 1884 MS64 PCGS. This satiny and boldly struck Choice
quarter has medium to deep canary-gold and stone-gray toning.
Surprisingly devoid of abrasions. Just 8,000 business strikes were
issued. Population: 21 in 64, 39 finer (1/10).(#5516)
Low Mintage 1884 Quarter, MS65
1071 1884 MS65 NGC. Only 8,000 circulation strikes were produced
in 1884. Because of the low output, when located the 1884 quarter
is typically prooflike as the initial polish on the dies never had
time to wear off. The prooflike fields on this piece are abundantly
evident, even through the more extensive toning on the reverse.
The rim on the obverse is deep russet-gray, while the reverse has
irregular patches of blue and golden. Fully struck. Census: 10 in 65,
19 finer (1/10). (#5516)
Exemplary MS66 ★ 1888 Quarter
1072 1888 MS66 ★ NGC. Blushes of peach and aquamarine
congregated near the borders of this lustrous and attractively
preserved Premium Gem. The strike is precise save for the star
centers. Only 10,000 pieces were struck, presumably due to
continued large-scale production of silver dollars. Census: 2 in 66
★, 3 finer with a Star designation (1/10). (#5520)
Final-Year 1891 Seated Quarter, MS66
1073 1891 MS66 NGC. After the decade of low-mintage quarters
ended, the final year showed a substantial increase in production,
with 3.9 million pieces struck. The mint luster on this example is
bright and frosted, shining forcefully through the medium-density
golden-rose and cobalt-blue toning. The striking details are sharp
throughout. (#5524)

1891 Quarter, MS66
A Second High-Grade Example
1074 1891 MS66 NGC. This is a second impressive, high-grade
1891 quarter. Again, the surfaces display thick mint frost that is
abundantly evident even through the medium-density iridescent
toning. The peripheral stars show some softness, but the centers of
each side are strongly struck. Light die clashing is seen in the fields
on each side. Census: 32 in 66, 15 finer (1/10). (#5524)
PROOF SEATED QUARTERS
Important 1867 Seated Quarter, PR67 Cameo
1075 1867 PR67 Cameo NGC. Navy-blue and plum-red fills the
margins, while the fields are light golden-brown and the device
are only faintly toned. Exactingly struck with flashy mirrors and
obvious frost across the major devices. A stingy 625 proofs were
struck. Census: 3 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (1/10). (#85566)
Sharply Struck 1873 Arrows Quarter, PR64
1076 1873 Arrows PR64 PCGS. This brilliant and sharply struck proof
has nearly untoned surfaces. The fields are fully mirrored and the
devices show a trace of mint frost that imparts light cameo contrast.
The With Arrows coins were struck only in 1873 and 1874, and all
offerings are popularly received by type collectors. Population: 32
in 64, 15 finer (1/10). (#5574)
1077 1875 PR64 PCGS. CAC. Type One Reverse. Splashes of cobalt-
blue, lavender, and golden-tan coloration are deeper on the reverse
of this near-Gem proof. Well struck minimally abraded surfaces
exhibit a degree of field-motif variance, slightly more so on the
obverse. Population: 34 in 64, 10 finer (1/10).(#5576)
1078 1877 PR65 PCGS. CAC. Type Two Reverse. A low-mintage
proof date with only 510 pieces issued. The fields are bright and the
mirrorlike effect is evident even through the blue and rose toning
seen over each side. A lovely, high-end example.(#55 78)
1079 1878 PR64 NGC. Orange-red, straw-gold, and ice-blue grace
this flashy and precisely struck near-Gem. A mere 800 proofs were
struck. Encased in a prior generation holder. Census: 51 in 64, 30
finer (1/10).(#5579)
1080 1878 PR64 Cameo NGC. Larry Briggs (1991) says of the 1878
quarter: “Proof issues were very sloppily made.” This near-Gem
Cameo is a pleasing exception. Its frosty, well struck design motifs
are highlighted by reflective fields, and just a touch of nearly
imperceptible gold color visits each side. Some wispy handling
marks deny Gem classification. Census: 6 in 64 Cameo, 12 finer
(12/09).(#85579)
1081 1880 PR65 PCGS. Type One Reverse. Medium intensity electric-
blue, lavender, and golden-tan patina on the obverse cedes to
bluish-purple on the reverse. The well struck design elements show
some contrast against the semireflective fields. Housed in a green
label holder.(#5581)
1082 1881 PR63 Cameo NGC. Field-motif contrast is somewhat
stronger on the reverse of this well struck Select Cameo proof.
Gunmetal-blue, lavender, and gold-orange patina occupies a large
portion of the obverse but is confined to the rim areas on the
reverse. Some faint wispy obverse field hairlines do not detract.
(#85582)
1083 1882 PR64 PCGS. This era of low-mintage business strikes
exerts added pressure on the proof issues. In 1882, the 1,100 proof
quarters saw a complement of only 15,200 circulation coins that
are rare in all levels of preservation. Splashes of bluish-violet and
gold-orange visit each side of this near-Gem proof, each of which
exhibits well struck devices that are highlighted at most angles by
reflective fields.(#5583)
Beautifully Toned PR67 1882 Quarter
1084 1882 PR67 NGC. The 1882 quarter is one in a long line of low
total-mintage issues that begin in 1879 and continue through 1889.
This year had only 15,200 strikes for circulation plus 1,100 proofs.
This impressive example has spectacular toning. The obverse has a
rose-colored center surrounded by blue at the margin. The reverse,
on the other hand, displays uniform blue-green toning. The fields
are deeply reflective and the surfaces are problem-free, just as one
would expect. Census: 15 in 67, 0 finer (1/10). (#5583)
Appealing 1883 Quarter, PR66
1085 1883 PR66 NGC. This Premium Gem proof is from an original
mintage of just 1,039 pieces, a number of which have survived to
the present day. Sharp definition is apparent on the frosty motifs
that display good contrast with the mirrored fields. No significant
marks detract from the coin’s strong overall eye appeal. Census: 22
in 66, 20 finer (1/10). (#5584)

Amazing PR67 1885 Quarter
1086 1885 PR67 NGC. This Superb Gem is one of just 930 proofs
struck alongside a limited Philadelphia-only issuance of business
strikes. Bold green-gold peripheral hues cede rapidly to azure and
violet, which dominate the broad centers. Magnificent visual
appeal. Census: 13 in 67, 1 finer (1/10). (#5586)
1087 1887 PR64 PCGS. This brilliant proof exhibits undeniable cameo
contrast, but is undesignated as such due to its older generation
green label holder. The borders show moderate inexactness of
strike. A scant 710 proofs were issued, and the associated business
strike production was also low.(#5588)
BARBER QUARTERS
1088 1894 MS66 NGC. CAC. Whispers of golden-tan patination are
joined by occasional accents of sky-blue at the margins. Vibrant
luster issues from both sides, and a well executed strike emboldens
the design elements, leaving no areas with even a hint of weakness.
The surfaces reveal no mentionable contact marks, and a light
fingerprint in the lower left obverse quadrant blends in nicely with
the toning. Census: 5 in 66, 2 finer (1/10). (#5607)
Gorgeous 1896 Barber Quarter, MS66
1089 1896 MS66 PCGS. CAC. An absolutely stunning Premium Gem
with rich green and iridescent toning over pearlescent surfaces.
The design elements are sharp, and the underlying luster is frosty.
This is fully original and highly attractive. Population: 5 in 66, 4
finer (1/10). (#5613)
1090 1896-S Good 4 PCGS. The Y and part of the T in LIBERTY
remain visible on this Good example. Rich silver-gray color overall
with elements of denim-blue. A great example of this popular key.
(#5615)
1091 1898 MS66 PCGS. Golden-gray patina is joined on the obverse
with electric-blue and lavender. A highly lustrous, sharply struck
Premium Gem. Population: 18 in 66, 4 finer (1/10).(#5619)
Nearly Brilliant 1900-0 Quarter, MS66
1092 1900-0 MS66 NGC. Type Two Obverse, Type Two Reverse. The
surfaces of this impressive piece are brilliant save for the lightest
blushes of silver-tinged iridescence. Liberty’s portrait is sufficiently
sharp for an O-mint delivery of this type, although we note some
striking incompleteness on a few of the obverse star centrils and
the high points of the reverse eagle. Creamy mint frost overlies
both sides, and no abrasions are out of context with the assigned
grade. Census: 3 in 66, 3 finer (12/09). (#5626)
1093 1902-S MS64 NGC. Rich rose and violet shadings cover much of
each side, though the obverse also shows blue accents and the right
reverse has a wedge of golden-tan. Well struck and pleasing for a
near-Gem. Census: 14 in 64, 15 finer (12/09).(#5633)
1094 1908-S MS64 PCGS. Mottled violet and steel-blue toning
blankets each side. A sharply struck and smooth near-Gem that
exhibits vigorous satin luster. A lower mintage issue of just 784,000
pieces. Population: 18 in 64, 18 finer (1/10).(#5652)
1095 1913-S Good 6 PCGS. CAC. Grayish-blue patina with hints
of yellow-gold run over the surfaces of this key-date Barber
representative. Full rims show some dentilation on the reverse.
The LI and Y of LIBERTY show, as does PLURIBUS on the reverse
ribbon. Both central devices display a modicum of internal detail,
and the date and mintmark are sharp. A couple of linear abrasions
are visible in the lower obverse field. (#5666)
Pleasing VG10 1913-S Quarter
1096 1913-S VG10 PCGS. This key date issue saw a mintage of only
40,000 pieces, with the majority of surviving examples falling into
the AG to Fine grade range. The present Choice VG offering is
ideal for a mid- or even better-grade Barber quarter collection. Its
design detail stands out for the designated grade. The letters LI and
Y of LIBERTY are sharp, as is the upper part of T. The jaw line, eye,
and ear are strong, and the obverse rim is full and shows a few worn
dentils. The reverse displays considerable dentilation, albeit worn,
as expected. Several of the letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are
clear, as is a fair amount of the eagle’s plumage, and the right, left,
and bottom sides of the shield are completely separate from the
eagle. Soft violet-gray and gold patina runs over both sides, each of
which is remarkably clean for a coin having seen moderate to heavy
circulation. This piece will elicit spirited bidding among Barber
coinage specialists, and likely even from those non-specialists
simply wanting a nice key date specimen for their collections.
(#5666)
1097 1915-D MS66 PCGS. CAC. Flickers of peach patina add color to
otherwise pale silver-gray surfaces. This charming Premium Gem
hails from a now-popular but little-saved Denver issue. Population:
35 in 66, 2 finer (12/09).(#5671)

1098 1916-D MS66 PCGS. Traces of ice-blue and gold patina are
visible on the lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem. Sharply
struck, save for the often-seen weakness on the upper right shield.
(#5674)
1099 1916-D MS66 PCGS. CAC. A wonderful acquisition for
collectors working on a last-year-of-issue type set, this 1916-D
Barber quarter boasts splendid cartwheel luster over radiant silver-
white surfaces that appear completely devoid of coloration. Under
a loupe a couple of small die cracks appear on each side, signs of die
fatigue. PCGS has certified six coins finer (1/10).(#5674)
1104 1902 PR64 PCGS. CAC. Splashes of sun-gold toning visit
this nicely mirrored and precisely struck Choice specimen. The
fields are unperturbed by hairlines, spots, or other visible flaws.
One of just 777 proofs struck, and housed in a green label holder.
(#5688)
1105 1905 PR65 PCGS. Cobalt-blue, lavender, and gold-tan toning
graces this marvelous Gem proof, leaving the reverse center nearly
untoned. Exquisitely struck, including the upper right corner of the
shield, an area often weak. Very nicely preserved for the numerical
grade. Population: 48 in 65, 40 finer (1/10).(#5691)
PROOF BARBER QUARTERS
1100 1896 PR65 PCGS. Washes of turquoise and green-gold toning
grace the gleaming fields and lightly frosted devices of this
attractive Gem. Strong preservation and eye appeal. Population:
34 in 65, 45 finer (12/09).(#5682)
Lovely 1900 Barber Quarter, PR66
1101 1900 PR66 PCGS. CAC. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse.
This piece absolutely qualifies as a cameo proof, despite the lack of
any PCGS designation in that regard. Both sides are fully brilliant
and untoned with deeply mirrored fields. The obverse motif is
satiny and lustrous with obvious cameo contrast, while the reverse
motif has heavier mint frost. Population: 22 in 66, 7 finer (1/10).
(#5686)
1102 1901 PR64 Cameo PCGS. This near-Gem has excellent contrast
between the lustrous devices and mirrored fields. Both sides are
attractively toned in blue, violet, and gold, the reverse slightly
darker. Population: 6 in 64 Cameo, 17 finer (1/10).(#85687)
Glittering PR68 Cameo 1901 Quarter
1103 1901 PR68 Cameo NGC. An impressively contrasted and even
more impressively preserved specimen from a turn-of-the-century
issue, this 1901 proof quarter comes from one of the last issues found
routinely with such a strong cameo effect. Both sides are practically
black-and-white with only the faintest suggestion of a golden cast.
Census: 4 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (1/10). (#85687)
Beautifully Toned 1908 Quarter, PR66
1106 1908 PR66 PCGS. A lovely Premium Gem proof, this 1908
quarter has gold toning at the center, surrounded by lemon, blue,
green, and violet iridescence. The design features are bold, and
both sides show clear cameo contrast despite the lack of such a
designation. Population: 14 in 66, 15 finer (1/10). (#5694)
Brilliant, Nearly Perfect PR68 Cameo 1911 Quarter
1107 1911 PR68 Cameo NGC. Exquisite and sure to delight high
quality proof type collectors, this coin is devoid of even the slightest
toning. As such, one can fully appreciate the awe-inspiring cameo
contrast between the frosty textured devices and deeply mirrored
fields. Pinpoint striking definition is noted throughout, and there
ar no grade-limiting blemishes. Census: 12 in 68 Cameo, 2 finer
(1/10). (#85697)
1108 1913 PR65 PCGS. Honey-gold, emerald-green, violet, and cobalt-
blue alternate across this flashy Gem. Minor weakness is noted
on the upper right shield corner. Undisturbed and attractively
patinated. A meager 613 proofs were issued. Population: 28 in 65,
40 finer (12/09).(#5699)

EARLY HALF DOLLARS
Choice XF 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar
Two Leaves, 0-104
1795 2 Leaves VG10 NGC. 0-119, R.4. A steel-gray early
silver type coin with ample hints of autumn-gold throughout the
borders. The right (facing) wing is well detailed, and no marks are
consequential for the given grade. (#605 2)
1110 1795 2 Leaves VG10 PCGS. 0-117a, R.4. A radial obverse
die crack at 5:30 confirms the Overton variety. Gunmetal-gray
and light tan toning encompasses unblemished surfaces. A minor
obverse rim ding appears at 1 o’clock, and wear is uneven on the
upper right obverse margin and the lower right reverse border.
(#6052)
1111 1795 2 Leaves VG10 PCGS. 0-115, R.5. A slightly scarcer
variety, this Flowing Hair half dollar has dark gray surfaces with
lighter heather devices. It is an attractive piece for the grade with
few unexpected blemishes for the grade.(#6052)
Very Fine Two Leaves 1795 Half
Difficult 0-107a Marriage
1112 1795 2 Leaves VF20 NGC. 0-107a, R.5. A prominent die crack
bisects the reverse between 2:30 and 8:30. When viewed beneath a
loupe, the cursive initials JB are visible on the upper right obverse
field. Otherwise, this cream-gray and caramel-gold Flowing Hair
half is surprisingly unmarked for the grade. A solitary adjustment
mark, as made, crosses Liberty’s chin. (#6052)
Pleasing VF20 1795 Half, 0-117
1113 1795 2 Leaves VF20 ANACS. 0-117, R.4. This Flowing Hair
half has light golden-gray toning and an absence of consequential
marks, aside from a small nick beneath the R in LIBERTY. Much
design detail remains, although the eagle’s breast and wingtips are
worn. Certified in an ANACS cache holder. (#6052)
1115 1795 2 Leaves XF45 PCGS. 0-104, R.4. The 10x7 berry
configuration identifies the reverse, while on the obverse, Liberty’s
looping curl comes close to star 1 but never touches it. As a Choice
XF representative of a very scarce Flowing Hair half dollar die
pair, this is a coin of interest to both type collectors and variety
specialists. The surfaces are remarkably lustrous for an XF-range
coin, particularly when one considers the peach, gold, blue-green,
and violet patina over each side. Both sides have deeper peripheral
colors yielding to light centers, with the contrast on the reverse
more stark. Minimally marked and highly appealing, even if worn
just past the AU level. (#6052)
1116 1795 Small Head VG8 PCGS. 0-126, R.4. This elusive Flowing
Hair subtype is represented only by Overton varieties 126 through
128. The dusky stone-gray fields and pearl-gray devices exhibit
wear consistent with the grade, but there are no detracting marks.
Population: 6 in 8, 21 finer (1/10).(#6054)
1114 1795 2 Leaves—Repaired, Whizzed—ANACS. XF40 Details.
0-110, R.4. No repair is readily evident, but the surfaces are
unnaturally bright and microgranular. Light tan toning adorns the
moderately abraded fields. An important and coveted early silver
type. (#605 2)

Scarce 1801 0-101 Half, VF20
1117 1801 VF20 NGC. CAC. 0-101, R.3. The first year of issue for the
Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle design, and one of the scarce date in
the short-lived series that continued only until 1807. This pleasing
mid-grade coin has attractive gray-brown surfaces with only a few
grade-consistent imperfections. (#6064)
1118 1801—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. VF Details. 0-101, R.3.
A granular rare date half dollar that has pitting on the portrait
highpoints. The obverse field is cloudy from hairlines. Generally
slate-white, but portions of both sides are gray where metal loss has
occurred. Two scratches are noted, one on Liberty’s neck and the
other through the olive branch. (#6064)
1119 1802—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. VF Details. 0-101, R.3.
Sole die pair for the year and scarce regardless of grade. This
midrange example is too bright for the moderate wear shown
on the high points, though the silver-gray surfaces have lightly
re toned emerald-green and blue. (#6065)
Attractive 1802 0-101 Half Dollar, VF25
1120 1802 VF25 NGC. CAC. 0-101, R.3. A splendid, fully natural
early half dollar with subtle lilac toning over the medium gray
surfaces. The obverse has lighter tan on the central device. Here
is a delightful middle-grade example of the scarce 1802 half dollar,
surviving from a mintage of 29,890 coins. (#6065)
1121 1803 Large 3 XF40 NGC. 0-103, R.3. Light silver-gray surfaces
at the centers are framed by lovely iridescent toning on the obverse.
The reverse is entirely untoned with traces of luster. (#6066)
Significant 1803 Small 3 Half Dollar
AU50, 0-104
1122 1803 Small 3 AU50 NGC. 0-104, R.3. Deep cobalt-blue and
mauve-gray toning is intermixed over each side, with some
underlying brightness. Free from any relevant abrasions. The only
Small 3 die marriage, and hence Overton-104 receives its own
Guide Book listing. Census: 4 in 50, 7 finer (1/10). (#6067)
1123 1805/4 VF30 NGC. 0-102, R.3. Three overdate varieties of the
1805/4 half dollars are known, and B. Max Mehl said that they
were the closest anyone could come to owning an 1804 half dollar.
Medium to dark gray fields have hints of pale blue toning, with
lighter silver on the devices.(#6070)
Condition Census 1805/4 0-102 Half, AU58
1124 1805/4 AU58 NGC. 0-102, R.3. The second scarcest of three
1805 over 4 overdate half dollars, this piece is a remarkable
example with only a touch of rub on the high points of Liberty’s
cheek and hair on the obverse, and the eagle’s wings on the reverse.
The surfaces are light silver-gray with little toning, but substantial
luster. NGC has certified a single MS65 example of the 0-101
overdate variety, and three AU58 coins, including this piece, as
the four finest of the overdate that they have encountered (1/10).
(#6070)
1125 1805 VF20 NGC. 0-112, R.2. All letters in E PLURIBUS
UNUM are readable, and the lavender-gray surfaces are free from
blemish. Considerable design detail is present. A pleasing VF
Draped Bust type coin. (#6069)
1126 1805 VF30 NGC. 0-104, R.5. A scarce and important die
marriage. The present piece appears to have seen long-term storage
in a cardboard album, as it now has concentric rings of iridescent
toning, especially on the obverse. (#6069)
Desirable 1805 O-lll Half, XF45
1127 1805 XF45 NGC. O-lll, R.2. This Normal Date variety has five
berries in the branch on the reverse, while some other 1805 half
dollars only have four berries. The Guide Book makes no distinction
between those varieties, while they do in other series, such as 1805
dimes where there are both four and five berries varieties listed.
This attractive piece has silver-gray surfaces with only a few minor
imperfections. The surfaces retain ample traces of luster with only
the faintest gold toning. (#6069)

0-102 1806/5 Half Dollar
A Scarcer Die Variety
1128 1806/5 PCGS Genuine. 0-102, High R.3. The PCGS number
ending in .91 suggests Questionable Color as the reason, or perhaps
one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In
our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has
questionable color. The obverse features rich honey-gold, as does
the reverse periphery. The crossbar of the 5 underdigit is apparent,
and the radial die crack through the N in UNITED is diagnostic.
The obverse field has scattered unimportant marks. The central
reverse is softly impressed, although the remainder of the design is
bold. Ample luster brightens protected regions. (#6077)
1129 1806/5 VF30 ANACS. 0-103, R.2. The most available of the
various 1806/5 overdate marriages. Moderately worn with contrast
between the slate-blue of the fields and the lighter gray of the worn
zones. (#607 7)
O-l 18a 1806 Pointed 6, Stem Half
1135 1806 Pointed 6, Stem PCGS Genuine. O-l 18a, R.3. The PCGS
number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason,
or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not
gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU58
specimen that has been cleaned. Luminous orange, silver-steel, and
violet-blue colors linger over this minimally worn Bust half. There
are few marks on either side, though a diagnostic die crack through
the top of most of UNITED on the reverse does supply interest.
(#6071)
1136 1806 Pointed 6, Stem XF45 NGC. 0-115, R.l. The earlier die
state without a crack through UNITED, although the dual crack
through the first three obverse stars is present, as always. This
Choice XF example has a convex reverse and a slightly concave
obverse center. Marks are limited to a couple of faint abrasions on
Liberty’s neck.(#6071)
1130 1806/5 XF45 ANACS. 0-101, R.3. Three different overdate
varieties are known from the single obverse die. On the 0-101
die combination, the second T of STATES is boldly recut along
its left upright. This Choice XF piece has considerable remaining
luster beneath light gold and iridescent toning. It is a pleasing and
attractive example.(#6077)
1131 1806 Knobbed 6, Small Stars XF40 NGC. 0-106, R.4. One of
just two Knobbed 6, Small Stars die pairs, slightly more available
than the 0-107 family but still very scarce. This XF example shows
scattered light digs, but it remains luminous with sage and slate-
blue patina overall.(#6075)
1132 1806 Pointed 6, No Stem VF30 ANACS. 0-109, R.l. Sole
die pair for the type. Pewter-gray and steel-blue surfaces offer
considerable eye appeal for the grade. (#6073)
0-109 1806 Pointed 6, No Stem Half, AU
1133 1806 Pointed 6, No Stem AU50 PCGS. 0-109, R.l. The sole
Pointed 6 Obverse, No Stem Reverse die pair for the year. This
still-lustrous AU example has a mixture of silver-turquoise, steel-
blue, and olive-gold toning across most of each side. Modestly worn
with abrasions generally light. For the variety, Population: 24 in 50,
65 finer (1/10).
From The South Texas Collection. (#6073)
1137 1806 Pointed 6, Stem XF45 NGC. 0-118, R.3. A pleasing
Choice XF example, this half dollar has dark gray toning at the
borders with attractive iridescent toning. Lighter gray appears on
the design highpoints. (#6071)
1138 1807 Draped Bust VF35 PCGS. CAC. 0-105, R.l. The leaf
point that is normally below the I in AMERICA is entirely right
of that letter on this variety. Both sides have attractive dark gray
surfaces. Aside from a few marks in the left obverse field, the
surfaces are consistent with the grade.(#6079)
Attractively Toned AU53 1807 Half, O-l 10a
1139 1807 Draped Bust AU53 PCGS. CAC. O-l 10a, R.3. Attractively
toned powder-blue, sun-gold, and rose-red. Impressively void of
abrasions, and the strike shows only moderate incompleteness
limited to the stars near the beak and opposite on the curls above
the shoulder. A partly lustrous representative of the final Draped
Bust issue. (#6079)
1134 1806 6 Over Inverted 6 VF30 PCGS. O-lll, R.3, with a cud
primarily over the E in UNITED. Deep steel-gray patina graces this
moderately circulated half. All letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are
clear. A good strike despite characteristic softness opposite the bust
type. Population: 10 in 30, 28 finer (12/09).(#6078)

1140 1807 Draped Bust AU55 NGC. 0-102, R.2. Rich peach, rose,
and violet overtones drape otherwise medium-gray surfaces.
Remarkably lustrous despite the light wear present over the centers.
As a Choice AU example from the last year of the Draped Bust
design for half dollars, an excellent choice for the type enthusiast.
(#6079)
BUST HALF DOLLARS
1141 1807 Capped Bust, Small Stars VF30 PCGS. O-l 13a, R.3.
Distinguished by extensive die cracking on each side. On the
obverse, most notably a crack from the end of the bust through all
the stars on the left, another from the milling through the 0 in the
date up to the drapery. On the reverse, several die cracks encircle
most of the periphery on the left side. Golden-gray and violet
patina covers both sides of this well defined half, each of which is
remarkably clean.(#6087)
Toned 1809 0-102 Half, Certified MS62
1142 1809 Normal Edge MS62 NGC. 0-102, R.l. Ocean-blue, ruby-
red, and gunmetal-gray envelop this satiny early Capped Bust half.
The eagle’s left (facing) wing is softly defined near the shield, and
a trio of light marks are noted on the cheek. Peripheral iridescent
luster suggests the grade. Census: 24 in 62, 40 finer (1/10).
(#6092)
1143 1811 Small 8 AU50 PCGS. O-l 10a, R.2. Luster brightens the
borders, eagle, and cap of the present AU example. Peach-gold
and ocean-blue illuminate the borders. Attractive and only lightly
abraded. (#6097)
1144 1813 XF45 PCGS. O-107a, R.l. This Choice XF half is awash
in aqua-blue and lilac-red patina. A few trivial hair-thin marks
are noted near the portrait. A late dies example with numerous
peripheral die cracks.(#6103)
1145 1814 E Over A AU55 ANACS. 0-108, R.2. This conditionally
scarce Guide Book variety exhibits an obvious die engraving blunder:
The E in STATES is over an errant A. The eagle’s head is softly
brought up, but this generally lustrous example lacks obvious marks
and is originally toned in aqua and apricot shades.(#6107)
1146 1818 AU50 PCGS. O-l04a, R.3. Readily attributed by distinctive
obverse die cracks. Golden-brown toning drapes the lustrous borders.
Occasional minor field marks have little impact on the eye appeal.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2007 ), lot 8368, which realized
$805. (#6113)
1147 1819 XF40 PCGS. 0-112, R.3. Medium to deep stone-gray and
russet toning consumes this moderately circulated and problem-
free XF example.(#6117)
Sharp 1820/19 Square Base 2 Half, 0-101, AU58
1148 1820/19 Square Base 2 AU58 PCGS. 0-101, R.2. The underdigits
show clearly. The second S in STATES is lower than E and the I
of PLURIBUS is centered under the second T. Luster resides in
the recessed areas of this near-Mint State specimen that displays
splashes of low to medium intensity multicolored toning. Well
defined and minimally marked. A sharp Bust half. (#6125)
1149 1821 XF45 PCGS. 0-107, R.3. This scarcer date Capped Bust
half has medium sea-green and golden-tan toning. Luster glimmers
from the borders and plumage. There are no abrasions worthy of
individual description.(#6128)
Popular 1824/1 Half Dollar, 0-101, MS62
1150 1824/1 MS62 PCGS. 0-101, R.2. The more common 1824/1
die pair, with the reverse having the serif of the U in UNITED
significantly higher than that on the nearby N. Strongly struck
with fantastic luster, silver-white in the centers with a mixture
of gold, green, and sage at the rims. Population: 9 in 62, 17 finer
(1/10). (#6139)
1151 1824 AU50 PCGS. 0-105, R.2. Deep jade-green and golden-
tan toning embraces this well defined AU half dollar. Luster fills
protected areas, the fields are minimally abraded, and there are
only a couple of moderate marks on the face.(#6137)
1825 0-114 Half, MS64
A High-End Example
1152 1825 MS64 PCGS. CAC. 0-114, R.l. This plentiful variety
has the left side of the 1 recut, and the lower shield border recut
between pales 2 and 3. The present near-Gem specimen is fully
original with central ivory surfaces that gradually change to sea-
green, rose, and iridescent toning toward the borders. The toning is
lovely and fully original. (#6142)
1153 1827 Square Base 2 AU53 PCGS. 0-115, R.2. This satiny
representative is well struck save for the left-side stars. The centers
are pearl-gray, while the borders offer deeper blue-gray patina. No
marks are readily evident. (#6144)

Census Level 1827 0-112a Half, MS64
1154 1827 Square Base 2 MS64 NGC. 0-112a, R.4. The obverse
has two prominent die cracks, the first from the border vertically
between the 8 and 2, grazing the left top of the 2. The second
extends from the border to the hair curl, continuing into the hair
curls well above the drapery. This piece is in the Condition Census
for the variety and is possibly the finest of the late-die-state coins.
(#6144)
1155 1828 Square Base 2, Small 8, Large Letters AU53 PCGS.
0-120, R.l. The ball of the 2 is recut, important to identification
of the Overton marriage. Lovely autumn-gold and electric-blue
toning clings to the margins.
Ex: Central States (Heritage, 5/2007), lot 8329, which realized
$470.35. (#6151)
1156 1829 Small Letters AU50 PCGS. 0-116a, R.4. This scarce
die marriage is confirmed by the spindly die crack that forms a
semicircle across much of the reverse. Golden-russet and lavender
shades dominate the borders. The slightly luminous surfaces lack
obtrusive marks.(#6154)
1157 1829 Small Letters MS62 NGC. 0-108, R.2. Die lines between
the edge and end of the bust aid in attribution, as does the recutting
at the top of the 5, which is higher than the 0. The last A in
AMERICA is incompletely filled to warrant the advanced 108a
die state. Mauve-gray and golden patina bathes both sides, and the
design elements are sharply impressed.(#6154)
Well Defined 1830 Small 0 Half Dollar
0-103, MS64
1158 1830 Small 0 MS64 PCGS. 0-103, R.l. The obverse stars have
round, blunt points, and the 3 in the date is somewhat lower than
the remaining digits. On the reverse the first S in STATES is high
and distant from TATES. Line 1 of stripe 2 extends to the second
crossbar. Light golden-gray patina dominates lustrous surfaces
accented with aqua-green, purple, and golden-brown. A nicely
defined piece that is devoid of mentionable marks. (#6156)
1159 1831 MS62 ★ NGC. 0-103, R.l. A plentiful variety, this piece is
destined to reside in a date or type collection where it will proudly
illustrate the 1831 Capped Bust half dollar coinage. Both sides are
brilliant and lustrous with reflective, nearly prooflike fields , the
mirrors interrupted by some minor mint frost. (#6159)
1160 1831 MS62 NGC. 0-106, R.3. A slightly scarcer 1831 half dollar
variety and always in demand in Mint State grades. This piece has
satiny luster with pale gold and darker steel toning on the obverse,
and lighter gold on the reverse.(#6159)
Near-Gem 0-102 1831 Half Dollar
1161 1831 MS64 NGC. 0-102, R.l. The reverse for the 0-102 variety
is distinctive, with “welded” lines in the first vertical stripe of
the shield as well as filling of the right side of the N in UNITED.
Warm peach-gold and silver colors dominate the centers, while the
margins show elements of blue and violet. (#6159)
1162 1832 Small Letters AU55 PCGS. Ex: Benson. O-102, R. 1. Exquisite
bands of golden-brown and navy-blue enrich the peripheries of this
mostly lustrous Choice AU half. Unmarked and highly attractive.
Ex: Ira S. Reed, 6/1944; Benson Collection, Part II (Ira & Larry
Goldberg, 2/2002), lot 974; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2007), lot
61938, which realized $805. (#6160)
Lightly Patinated 1832 Small Letters Half Dollar
0-110, MS64
1163 1832 Small Letters MS64 PCGS. 0-110, R.l. A “spike” at
the top of the cap typically identifies the obverse, but one must
exercise caution because this same defect is sometimes seen on
0-109, which shares the same obverse. The 5 in the denomination
is slightly recut on the outer curve and URI in PLURIBUS is
weak, both of which are diagnostic for the reverse. Golden-gray
surfaces display peripheral electric-blue and lavender accents.
Well delineated save for minor softness on the upper right shield.
(#6160)
1164 1833 AU55 PCGS. 0-112, R.2. Star 8 is recut, diagnostic for this
relatively available die pairing. An attractively toned Choice AU
Bust half that is bathed in apple-green, ocean-blue, and straw-gold.
Thorough inspection locates a few inconsequential faded marks.
(#6163)
Gem 1836 Lettered Edge Half, 0-117
1165 1836 Lettered Edge MS65 NGC. 0-117, R.3. The distinctive
obverse has the 1 in the date too low relative to the 8 and leaning
in toward the latter digit. This Gem example from the last year
of Lettered Edge Bust half coinage has impressive luster beneath
dappled green-gold, olive, blue, and violet patina. Solidly struck
with great eye appeal. (#6169)

1166 1836 50 Over 00 AU58 PCGS. 0416, R.2. This Guide Book
variety has a blundered denomination, an error undoubtedly
facilitated by the mirror image aspect of working dies. A lustrous and
unmarked chestnut-gray Borderline Uncirculated representative.
Population: 4 in 58, 13 finer (12/09).(#6170)
1167 1836 Reeded Edge—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. VF Details.
The 1836 is the scarcer of the two-year Capped Bust Reeded Edge
50 CENTS design type. Silver-gray surfaces are accented with
purple and electric-blue peripheral toning and exhibit appropriate
definition on the design elements. Light hairlines are visible under
magnification. (#6175)
REEDED EDGE HALF DOLLARS
Popular 1836 Reeded Edge Half, Choice XF
1168 1836 Reeded Edge XF45 PCGS. The famous (and famously low-
mintage) Reeded Edge half dollar variant of late 1836 marked a
new era of Mint technology, combining historic importance with
scarcity. This lightly circulated representative, pale silver-gray in
the still-lustrous centers, has gold-orange elements near the rims.
(#6175)
1169 1837 AU53 PCGS. A lightly worn example of this more accessible
Reeded Edge, 50 Cents Reverse date. Dappled blue-violet and
green-gold toning drapes lightly worn but still-lustrous surfaces.
(#6176)
Extremely Rare JR-29 1837 Reeded Edge
Half Dollar, AU58, Undiscovered Until 2006
1170 1837 AU58 NGC. JR-29. Presumably an Rarity-8 variety. This
variety was only discovered during the cataloging of the Jules
Reiver Collection, which was sold in January 2006. Since that time
we have only sold two examples, and this is a repeat appearance of
one of them. In the Reiver catalog the diagnostics were listed as:
83 close, 1 and 7 high. Die crack from star 1 to star 5. Die crack
under 837 to star 13. Die lump under A3 on the reverse, close to
the wing. Die crack over top of ED STATE. Die crack through the
middle of TES, and along the bottoms of OF AMERICA. This
appears to be an earlier die state as the die crack is very faint over
the top of ED STATE. The silver-gray surfaces have a light overlay
of golden toning on each side. There is slight weakness evident at
the margins. Nice portions of luster remain around the devices, and
there are a few small, scattered field marks on each side, but none
are worthy of individual mention. (#6176)
1171 1837 MS62 PCGS. This is the more available of the two-year
Reeded Edge design type with the 50 CENTS reverse. Lustrous
surfaces display traces of light brown color and sharply struck
design motifs. Minute obverse marks preclude a higher grade.
(#6176)
Brilliant MS63 1837 Reeded Edge Half
1172 1837 MS63 PCGS. Reeded Edge halves were struck in such a
small quantity in 1836, for many collectors 1837 represents the
first truly collectible year. The old bust design was reworked the
previous year and given a reeded edge. According to Mint Director
Patterson striking in a close collar “gives a mathematical equality
to their diameters.” This is an attractive example that is brilliant
throughout. The steam press was certainly effective in this case as
every detail is fully brought up. A few light abrasions can be seen,
but none are worthy of individual mention. (#6176)
Appealing 1837 Reeded Edge Half, MS64
1173 1837 MS64 NGC. The first Capped Bust, Reeded Edge half
dollars, struck late in 1836, are often called pattern coins, making
this 1837 the first year of issue for a three-year design. Since the
reverse had its denomination changed from 50 CENTS to HALF
DOL. in 1838, this 1837 is technically a one-year type coin. This
Choice Mint State example is attractively toned with excellent eye
appeal. (#6176)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
1174 1837 MS66 NGC. With the 1836 Reeded Edge issue having
an extremely limited mintage, the 1837 half dollar is the only
accessible date for the variety with denomination expressed as 50
CENTS. Despite a mintage of over 3.6 million pieces, the 1837
Reeded Edge half is understandably rare at the MS66 level and
above. This Premium Gem is remarkably bright for a coin over 170
years old, with minimally toned surfaces showing only whispers of
golden toning around the lower reverse. The strike is sharp through
the centers, though the stars surrounding Liberty are slightly soft.
Census: 9 in 66, 3 finer (1/10). (#6176)
1175 1839 AU58 PCGS. The cartwheel luster is essentially complete,
and the lightly toned cream-gray surfaces are smooth aside from
a few faint and slender scuffs. The final year of the long-lived
Capped Bust design. Encapsulated in an old green label holder.
(#6179)
Lustrous 1839 Capped Bust Half, MS64
1176 1839 MS64 NGC. The final year of issue for the Capped Bust,
Reeded Edge design. This piece is an exceptional near-Gem with
frosty and fully brilliant silver surfaces. All of the design elements
are bold, save for slight weakness at the bust tip. Both sides are
entirely untoned, and the surfaces show only a few grade-limiting
marks. Census: 47 in 64, 6 finer (1/10). (#6179)
1177 1839-0 XF40 NGC. A lightly worn example with strong contrast
between the light silver-gray outlining the devices and the deep
slate-blue of the fields and hollows. Two nearly intersecting die
cracks travel from the eagle’s beak to the bottoms of (STA)TES OF
AMERICA and the arrowheads. (#6181)
SEATED HALF DOLLARS
Choice XF 1849 Half Dollar With
Dramatically Repunched Date, FS-301
1178 1849 XF45 PCGS. FS-301, formerly FS-004.5. WB-102.
Curiously, this coin is designated by PCGS as an error. It is in
fact a repunched date, and one of the most dramatic in the entire
Seated half series. All the digits in the date are repunched with
the original punching easily seen to the left. Also present are the
remnants of two mispunched 9s; one protrudes from the rock above
49, and the other is faintly seen in the denticles. The surfaces are
medium gray on the obverse and light gray on the reverse, with
contrasting brilliantish-silver accents over the devices on each
side. Several field marks are present. (#6262)
1179 1850 AU55 PCGS. It would be a mistake to think of the 1850 as a
common date, for its mintage of 227,000 pieces and its low survival
rate ensure that this issue is hard to locate in all grades. Although
lightly worn as the grade implies, this piece retains considerable
luster beneath its deep heather and gold toning. Population: 8 in
55, 40 finer (1/10).(#6264)

Popular 1853 Arrows and Rays Fifty Cent, MS64
1180 1853 Arrows and Rays MS64 NGC. The 1853 Arrows and Rays
half dollar is a popular one-year type coin. Whispers of electric-
blue, lavender, and gold patina visit portions of the margins on this
near-Gem example, especially on the obverse. Lustrous surfaces
display well struck devices and some die cracks over each side.
Minor marks deny Gem status. (#6275)
The Eliasberg 1861-0 Half, MS64
1181 1861-0 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Eliasberg. The final New Orleans
Mint Seated half dollar struck at the beginning of the Civil War,
this Choice Mint State piece has pastel gold and iridescent toning
with bold design definition.
Ex: J.M. Clapp; John H. Clapp; Clapp Estate; Louis E. Eliasberg,
Sr.; Eliasberg Estate (Bowers and M erena, 4/1997), lot 1987.
(#6303)
1182 1872-CC VF25 NGC. An early Seated half dollar from the
Carson City Mint, this 1872-CC is moderately worn with pleasing
light to medium gray surfaces. A substantial mintage of 257,000
coins was produced during the year, but most of those have been
lost to the perils of time. Survivors are desirable in all grades.
(#6334)
Choice AU 1873-CC No Arrows Half
1183 1873-CC No Arrows AU55 NGC. Small CC. A lightly
circulated but still-lustrous example of the No Arrows 1873-CC
half dollar, richly toned peach, olive, and silver-blue over a gray
base. Minimally abraded save for a single mark above the F in
HALF and crisply defined, an all-around attractive coin. Census: 3
in 55, 9 finer (1/10). (#6338)
1184 1874-CC Arrows VF20 PCGS. 1874 is a magical year for silver
coins from the Carson City Mint, for they are all rare. It seems
that production of gold coins was the more pressing need. The half
dollar only had a mintage of 59,000 coins, and examples are elusive
in all grades. This pleasing piece has medium to dark gray toning in
the fields with lighter tan devices.(#6347)
1185 1877-CC MS62 NGC. Type Two Reverse. Luminous silver-gray
surfaces show occasional subtle whispers of light tan-gold and well
impressed design features. Light cracks are visible in the upper
left obverse border and along the reverse margins. A few minute
contact marks limit the grade.(#6356)
1186 1882 MS64 PCGS. Beneath the rich green-gold and violet
patina, this near-Gem has flashy fields and even a measure of
frost on the devices, though the striking characteristics are not as
uniformly sharp as for a proof. Lightly abraded to the left and right
of Liberty, yet attractive. Population: 17 in 64, 18 finer (12/09).
(#6364)
PROOF SEATED HALF DOLLARS
Appealing 1857 Half Dollar, PR62
1187 1857 PR62 PCGS. CAC. Champagne-gold centers are flanked by
deep purple toning at the margins, the latter being somewhat more
extensive on the obverse. This sharply struck piece possesses great
eye appeal for the numerical grade despite the presence of some
inoffensive handling marks. A rare proof issue. Population: 5 in 62,
29 finer (12/09). (#6411)
1857 Half, PR64, Ex: Eliasberg
1188 1857 PR64 PCGS. CAC. The population of 1857 proof half
dollars is probably about 50 coins, but this is only an estimate.
PCGS and NGC have graded about 70 examples, an unknown
number of which are likely resubmissions. This exquisitely struck
near-Gem displays whispers of delicate golden toning, accented
with hints of electric-blue and lavender at the margins.
Ex: Harlan P. Smith (Chapman Brothers, 5/1906); John H. Clapp;
Clapp Estate; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Estate (Bowers and

Toned Near-Gem Proof 1862 Half
1189 1862 PR64 PCGS. CAC. The mirrored fields of this near-Gem
proof are subdued by the original gray and iridescent toning on
both sides, and that is the only reason the grade was limited to
PR64. It is a sharply detailed example with excellent, problem-free
surfaces. Population: 53 in 64, 20 finer (1/10). (#6416)
Brightly Reflective PR64 1863 Seated Half
Mintage of 460 Pieces
1190 1863 PR64 NGC. It is a wonder that any proof coinage was struck
during the tumultuous days of the Civil War. Specie payments had
been suspended and proofs had a two-tiered pricing structure, based
on whether greenbacks or coins were used for payment. A tiny
mintage of 460 proof halves was struck in 1863, and NGC has only
certified 24 in PR64 with 20 pieces finer (1/10). This piece displays
deeply mirrored fields with each side showing speckled rose and
blue toning. (#6417)
1191 1866 Motto PR63 PCGS. A sharp Select proof, minimally
contrasted but with rich steel-blue and silver-green patina.
Scattered hairlines beneath the toning contribute to the grade.
Population: 38 in 63, 45 finer (12/09).(#6424)
Gem Proof 1867 Half Dollar
1192 1867 PR65 NGC. CAC. Light peach and silver shadings over
parts of each side give way to brilliant blue hues, ranging from pale
turquoise to an electric shade. A crisply detailed and delightfully
mirrored Gem specimen of this post-Civil War proof half dollar
issue, one of just 625 specimens coined. Census: 25 in 65, 7 finer
(1/10). (#6425)
Flashy PR64 Cameo 1871 Half
1193 1871 PR64 Cameo PCGS. This outstanding Cameo coin has
faintly toned yet essentially silver-white mirrors. Strongly impressed
devices show only light frost, but the contrast is strong for the
amount of frost present. A tiny lint mark in the right obverse
field has no influence on the technical grade. Population: 9 in 64
Cameo, 1 finer (12/09). (#86429)
1194 1874 Arrows PR63 NGC. Small Arrowheads. Fully struck with
pleasing gold, alabaster, and sea-green toning, and noteworthy
cameo contrast on the obverse. A handful of wispy slide marks are
noted in the right obverse field. The short-lived Arrows design
has long been a favorite of collectors, and proofs are elusive.
(#6435)
Gorgeous 1878 Seated Half, PR66 Cameo
1195 1878 PR66 Cameo NGC. Type Two Reverse. This gorgeous 1878
half dollar has exquisite contrast between the fields and the devices,
with mostly brilliant, untoned silver surfaces. Peripheral lilac and
electric blue toning is evident on both sides of this Premium Gem.
Census: 10 in 66 Cameo, 3 finer (1/10). (#86439)
Fully Struck 1884 Gem Cameo Proof Half Dollar
1196 1884 PR65 Cameo PCGS. Proof 1884 half dollars are readily
available through near-Gem, and even finer-grade coins can
be located with patience. Cameos are another story. They are
particularly difficult in Gem and above. Golden-tan patina
gravitates to the margins of this Gem Cameo and a full strike is
seen over the design elements. Nicely preserved. Population: 5 in
65 Cameo, 2 finer (1/10). (#86445)
1197 1888 PR62 NGC. CAC. Fantastically reflective with moderately
hairlined fields. If the frost over the devices were slightly
stronger, this coin could have had a bold black-and-white effect.

Elegant 1890 Half Dollar, PR67 Cameo
1198 1890 PR67 Cameo NGC. Orange-gold and purple toning,
confined mostly to the margins on the obverse, cover more territory
on the reverse of this elegant Superb Gem proof. Sharply struck,
satiny devices appear to float over the mirrored fields, confirming
the Cameo designation. Proof half dollars of 1890 (590 coins) see
added pressure because of the minimal business strike emission
of 12,000 pieces. The present coin will stand out in the finest
collection. A crack on the holder extends across the bottom of the
insert. Census: 8 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (1/10). (#86451)
BARBER HALF DOLLARS
Lightly Patinated 1894-S Half Dollar, MS64
1199 1894-S MS64 PCGS. Whispers of light gray and gold patina visit
the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem S-mint half and an impressive
strike leaves strong definition on the design features, though the
upper right shield corner is a touch weak. An occasional obverse
handling mark precludes Gem classification. Population: 45 in 64,
31 finer (1/10). (#6470)
Semikey 1895-S Barber Half, MS65
1200 1895-S MS65 PCGS. The 1895-S is a semikey issue with a
mintage of 1.1 million pieces. The typical coin is found with good
luster and semiprooflike fields, as seen on this piece. The striking
definition is remarkably strong with complete hair details on
the forecurls, showing just a bit of softness on the right (facing)
talon of the eagle. Pale rose-colored toning is seen over each side.
Population: 11 in 65, 3 finer (1/10). (#6473)
MS64 1902-0 Barber Half
Conditionally Scarce New Orleans Issue
1201 1902-0 MS64 PCGS. Delightful purple toning in the periphery
yields to pale gray patina in the centers. Impressive satiny luster
shines beneath the attractive toning. The northeast corner of the
shield and the eagle’s right wing are weakly struck, but the rest of
the details are sharp. A minimally marked and lustrous example
of this conditionally scarce issue. Population: 15 in 64, 6 finer
(12/09). (#6493)
Richly Toned MS64 1903 Half
1202 1903 MS64 PCGS. Deep violet and blue peripheral shades fade
through olive and green-gold before settling into rich silver-gray
at the centers. A luminous and satiny near-Gem example of this
underrated Barber half dollar issue, little-saved at the time of
release. Population: 25 in 64, 8 finer (12/09). (#6495)
1203 1904-S XF40 PCGS. The 553,038-piece mintage of the 1904-S is
low but unremarkable, given the 505,000-piece production of the
1905-0 and the 662,000-piece coinage of the 1905. Certainly, the
1913, 1914, and 1915 all have much lower mintages. Nonetheless,
the 1904-S is the rarest Barber half issue in Mint State, excluding
the 1892-0 Micro O. It is also extremely scarce in nice circulated
grades, although uncertified AG3 examples can be obtained with
little difficulty. A problem-free pearl-gray representative that has
substantial plumage detail.(#6500)
Subtly Toned MS65 1906-D Barber Half
1204 1906-D MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1906-D is surprisingly scarce in
high grades for a coin with a mintage in excess of 4 million pieces.
PCGS has certified 17 Gems, and eight are finer (1/10). The
surfaces of this piece show soft mint frost, and each side has light,
speckled rose and gray toning. Sharply struck overall with just a bit
of high point softness. (#6505)

Attractively Toned MS65 1907 Barber Half
1205 1907 MS65 NGC. This lustrous Gem has distinctive toning on
each side, lightly and attractively done. Golden-rose and lilac
colors are intermingled in the fields with mostly brilliant devices.
The strike is as expected, with softness localized to the eagle’s right
wing. A small planchet flake is noted just below Liberty’s jawline.
Census: 17 in 65, 3 finer (12/09). (#6508)
1206 1907-0 MS64 PCGS. Light violet-gray and beige patination runs
over the lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem. The design elements
are well struck except for the usual softness in the upper right shield
corner. A few minuscule marks deny Gem status. Population: 42 in
64, 21 finer (1/10).(#6510)
1207 1912 MS63 PCGS* Peripheral golden color with few spots of
deeper charcoal. The luminous centers have satiny silver-gray
luster. Housed in a first-generation holder. (#65 24)
1208 1912-D MS64 PCGS. This richly toned near-Gem is well-defined
with subtle luster filtering through layers of gold-orange, umber,
and deep violet patina. Minimally marked for the grade. PCGS has
certified 65 finer pieces (12/09).(#6525)
1209 1912-S MS64 PCGS. Honey-gold and pearl-gray enrich this
shimmering and intricately struck Choice Barber half. A few faint
obverse luster grazes are all that prevent classification as a full
Gem. Population: 50 in 64, 26 finer (12/09).(#6526)
1210 1913-D MS64 NGC. Strongly lustrous for this Denver issue with
eye appeal that suggests a finer grade than MS64. Minor softness
on the obverse stars and a few abrasions on the cap contribute
to the coin’s near-Gem status. Faint golden toning adds color to
otherwise silver-white surfaces. Census: 39 in 64, 17 finer (12/09).
(#6528)
Light and Dark Gray-Toned 1915 Half, MS62
1211 1915 MS62 PCGS. Final year of issue, this example shows
remarkably good luster for the grade. The centers are light gray
with significantly deeper gray around the margins. The striking
details are strong but not quite complete in all areas, lacking just
a bit of high point definition on Liberty’s forecurls and the eagle’s
legs. (#6532)
PROOF BARBER HALF DOLLARS
Interesting 1894 Barber Half, PR67
Repunched 4 in Date
1212 1894 PR67 NGC. Breen-5052. The 4 in the date is clearly
repunched with extra outlines within the triangle of the digit.
This apparently is only seen on proofs, but we do not know what
percentage of the 972 proofs struck show this feature. The fields are
deeply reflective and shine forcefully through the multiple layers
of sea-green, rose, and gray toning that cover most of each side.
A lovely early proof Barber half. Census: 20 in 67, 4 finer (1/10).
(#6541)
1213 1894 PR64 Cameo PCGS. Illimitable depth of mirrored
reflectivity is seen in the fields on each side with noticeably
contrasting frosted devices, which is evident even through the
light covering of golden-rose toning. Pinpoint striking definition.
Population: 16 in 64 Cameo, 34 finer (1/10).(#86541)
PR66 Cameo 1895 Barber Half
1214 1895 PR66 Cameo NGC. By 1895 whatever lingering enthusiasm
might have existed for the Barber designs had evaporated, and
from the first-year total of more than 1,200 proof half dollars, by
this fourth year of production the net coinage had slumped to 880
pieces. This coin is among the finer survivors, with good field-
device contrast and untoned, silver-white surfaces that show the
slightest blush of champagne tint on the reverse. Census: 21 in 66
Cameo, 20 finer (1/10). (#86542)
Beautiful 1896 Half, PR66 Cameo
1215 1896 PR66 Cameo NGC. A brilliant silver half dollar, this
Premium Gem Cameo proof shows bold design motifs with satiny
devices and fully mirrored fields. There is no evidence of toning on
either side of this beautiful half dollar. Census: 12 in 66 Cameo, 12
finer (1/10). (#86543)

Session Three, Auction #1137 • Friday, February 5, 2010 • 6:00 PM PT 127
Gem Proof 1898 Half Dollar
1216 1898 PR65 NGC. Rich and beautiful patina dominates the eye
appeal of this Gem proof, wreathed in plum and deep peach on
the obverse with small slots of gleaming silver-white. The reverse
has slightly lighter color, blue and turquoise with suggestions of
emerald. Census: 28 in 65, 55 finer (1/10). (#6545)
Prized PR66 Cameo 1900 Half Dollar
1217 1900 PR66 Cameo NGC. Excellent eye appeal for this turn-
of-the-century issue, mildly but distinctly contrasted between
the lightly frosted and sharply struck devices and the prominent
mirrors, which are generally silver-white but show occasional hints
of patina. Carefully preserved with excellent eye appeal. Census: 22
in 66 Cameo, 13 finer (1/10). (#86547)
1218 1905 PR64 PCGS. This boldly detailed, deeply toned proof has
blue, gold, rose, and violet toning over fully mirrored fields. The
devices have a smooth, satiny appearance. (#6552)
Deeply Toned PR67 1905 Barber Half
1219 1905 PR67 NGC. The mirrored fields on this Superb Gem proof
offer noticeable contrast with the satiny motifs, especially on the
reverse. Yellow-gold patina dominates the obverse, with violet
splashes. Violet also dominates the reverse, accented with yellow-
gold. Exquisitely struck and immaculately preserved. Census: 12 in
67, 4 finer (1/10). (#6552)
1220 1907 PR66 NGC. Freckles of light tan-gold color show under
magnification and the design elements are well struck, save for
the usual weakness in the upper right shield corner. A few minor
handling marks are undisturbing. The 1907 proof can be located
with patience through near-Gem but is difficult any finer. Census:
25 in 66, 8 finer (12/09). (#6554)
Nearly Brilliant 1908 Half, PR64 Cameo
1221 1908 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Early 20th century proof Barber
half dollars are difficult to find with any degree of contrast, as seen
on this piece. It has fully and deeply mirrored fields around sharply
defined, satiny devices. There is little evidence of toning on either
side, with only subtle gold color. Population: 3 in 64 Cameo, 9 finer
(1/10). (#86555)
Solidly Struck 1910 Half Dollar, PR67
1222 1910 PR67 NGC. The demand for high-grade 1910 proof half
dollars is high owing to the elusiveness of low-mintage circulation
strikes (fewer than 500,000 pieces). Dappled cobalt-blue,
orange, and lavender toning runs over both sides of this Superb
Gem and a solid strike delivers strong definition to the design
features. Impeccably preserved. Census: 19 in 67, 7 finer (1/10).

EARLY DOLLARS
Plentiful 1795 B-5, BB-27 Dollar, VF20
1223 1795 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves VF20 AN ACS. B-5, BB-27,
R.l. The common 1795 Flowing Hair dollar variety, with the
diagonal bar in the upper left obverse field, and seen as often as
all other varieties combined. This glossy silver piece has light gray
surfaces with iridescent toning on each side. (#6852)
1224 1795 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves VF25 PCGS. B-5, BB-27, R.l.
The slender “bar” behind the uppermost neck curl is diagnostic.
Pearl-gray overall with walnut-brown in design recesses. The
obverse margin displays minor adjustment marks, as made. The
obverse rim is softly defined near 7 o’clock on the obverse and
opposite on the reverse, likely due to a flan of slightly uneven
thickness. In an old green label holder. (#6852)
1795 Flowing Hair Dollar, VF25
Three Leaves, B-5, BB-27
Pleasing 1795 B-2, BB-20 Dollar, VG10
1225 1795 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves VG10 NGC. B-2, BB-20, R.3.
The later, lapped die state with thin stars at the left obverse border.
Although well worn, this piece has pleasing surfaces. Both sides
have deep steel-gray patina in the fields, with lighter silver-tan
devices creating a splendid two-tone appearance. (#6853)
Flowing Hair, Two Leaves 1795 Dollar
B-l, BB-21, Choice AU
1226 1795 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves AU55 PCGS. B-l, BB-21, R.2.
The obverse with “blundered date” showing an underdigit beneath
the 7, the reverse with a 9x10 berry configuration and one berry
below the right side of the first A in AMERICA. An uncommonly
fine example of a Flowing Hair dollar, since most representatives
grade VF or below. Each side remains luminous beneath rich blue-
green and cobalt-silver toning. Wear is present mostly as “fresh
metal” at the highest points of the letters in LIBERTY and through
the lower reverse. Minimally abraded save for a handful of small to
medium scrapes at the eagle’s breast. Population: 16 in 55, 23 finer
(12/09). (#6853)

Bold AU Details Centered Draped Bust
1795 Silver Dollar, B-15, BB-52
1227 1795 Draped Bust, Centered—Improperly Cleaned—NGC.
AU Details. B-15, BB-52, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III-IV.
A splendidly detailed first-year Draped Bust dollar that is bathed
in deep sea-green toning, with occasional hints of golden-brown.
The right obverse field is slightly glossy and has a couple of small,
faint abrasions. The devices on both sides have a couple of light
adjustment marks (as made), beneath Liberty’s ear and on the
eagle’s right (facing) leg. (#6858)
Well Defined 1795 Draped Bust, Off Center Dollar
B-14, BB-51, VF Details
1228 1795 Draped Bust, Off Center—Improperly Cleaned—NGC.
VF Details. B-14, BB-51, R.2. The bust is off-center left in the
die, leaving the highest wave of hair under the B in LIBERTY
rather than the E as usually seen on most early dollars. The surfaces
are light gray, violet, purple, and gold, and reveal faint hairlines
under magnification. Nice design detail and only lightly abraded.
Interested bidders should not be dissuaded by the light cleaning.
(#96858)
1795 Off Center Bust Dollar, VF35
B-14, BB-51
1229 1795 Draped Bust, Off Center VF35 NGC. B-14, BB-51, R.l. If
the off-centered bust of Liberty is not an obvious tip-off that this
is a B-14, the hair curl that is centered beneath the B in LIBERTY
is also a reliable diagnostic. The medium gray surfaces show green
and golden accents at the obverse border, and there are no obvious
abrasions on either side. (#96858)
1795 Uncentered Bust Dollar
B-14, BB-51, AU50
1230 1795 Draped Bust, Off Center AU50 NGC. B-14, BB-51, R.2.
Perfect dies as always. The Uncentered Bust variety with Liberty
crowding the stars along the left obverse border. The position of
Liberty on the obverse is diagnostic for each of the two known
1795 Draped Bust varieties. Both varieties are seen on a regular
basis, about 60% for this variety and 40% for the other.
The devices of this pleasing Draped Bust dollar are lightly worn,
with smooth gray surfaces that host light iridescence. The surfaces
are attractive, with only a few minor blemishes on Liberty’s profile.

Near-Mint 1795 Draped Bust Dollar
B-14, BB-51
1231 1795 Draped Bust, Off Center AU58 PCGS. B-14, BB-51,
R.2. Known as the Off-Center Draped Bust obverse, this variety
has been the occasional source of confusion from people who
mistakenly think that the actual coin was struck off-center. For
that reason we recommend changing the name to the “Uncentered
Bust” variety. This piece has nearly full, satiny luster with lovely
silver-gray surfaces and equally attractive peripheral iridescence.
The strike is good, with only slight weakness at the center of the
reverse. A few surface marks are consistent with the grade, but the
overall eye appeal is excellent. (#96858)
Desirable 1796 B-4, BB-61 Dollar, VF20
1232 1796 Small Date, Large Letters VF20 NGC. B-4, BB-61, R.3. The
small die chip centered over the 1 in the date identifies this obverse
that was also used for BB-62. The reverse dies are distinguished by
the Large Letters of BB-61 and the Small Letters of BB-62. It is
believed that this variety was the first die combination struck with
the 1796 date. This piece is a pleasing light gray example with
lighter silver-gray devices. Only a few grade-consistent blemishes
are noted on either side. (#6860)
1233 1796 Small Date, Large Letters AU50 PCGS. B-4, BB-61, R.3.
A die chip high above the 1 in the date identifies this variety. This
piece is an attractive silver-gray example with excellent detail on
both sides. Faint radial adjustment marks extend in from the border
left of the date. Considerable luster is still visible on both sides,
with faint rose and iridescent toning. Population: 7 in 50, 11 finer
(1/10). (#6860)
Elusive VF Small Date, Small Letters
1796 Dollar, B-l, BB-66
1234 1796 Small Date, Small Letters VF20 PCGS. B-l, BB-66, R.4.
Incorrectly designated as a Large Date by PCGS. This scarce Small
Eagle dollar displays apple-green, navy-blue, and lilac patina. A
vertical scratch extends from the left wreath loop and stem, and
other abrasions are noted left of the eagle’s neck and beneath the
hair ribbons. All marks are inconspicuous, and the eye appeal is
attractive to the unaided eye. (#6859)
Scarce 1796 B-2, BB-63 Dollar, VF20
1235 1796 Small Date, Small Letters VF20 PCGS. B-2, BB-63, R.4.
Ex: Hesselgesser. This is a scarcer variety, and the present piece
is a duplicate from the marvelous Dr. Hesselgesser Collection,
one of the finest collections of Bust dollars ever formed, past or
present. An attractive light silver-gray piece, this early dollar will
fit nicely in an advanced variety collection, or a design collection.

1236 1796 Small Date, Small Letters VF20 NGC. B-5, BB-65, R.2.
This variety is always identified by the variable die chip between
the I and C of AMERICA, in this case joining both letters. This
pleasing example has an attractive blend of deep steebblue and
gray-brown toning on both sides. Trivial surface marks on each side
are consistent with the grade. Overall, a fully natural and delightful
early dollar. (#6859)
Scarce 1796 Dollar, Fine Details
Large Date, Small Letters, B-5, BB-65
1237 1796 Large Date, Small Letters—Rim Damage—NGC. Fine
Details. B-5, BB-65, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State IV, the die
lump between the IC in AMERICA is well advanced. Each side
has a couple of small to medium rim nicks, the most noticeable
at 8:30 on the obverse and at 6 o’clock on the reverse. A thin
curved mark near the lower reverse rim appears to be post-strike.
Attractive golden-brown, blue-green, and stone-gray toning
embraces the circulated (but minimally abraded) fields and devices.
(#6861)
1238 1797 10x6 Stars, Large Letters—Repaired—NCS. VF Details.
B-3, BB-71, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. The eagle’s breast,
the right obverse field, and the reverse field near 2 o’clock have
been smoothed. This steel-gray Small Eagle dollar retains ample
design detail. (#6865)
Bold VF30 1797 Dollar, 10x6 Stars
B-3, BB-71, Large Letters
1239 1797 10x6 Stars, Large Letters VF30 NGC. B-3, BB-71, R.2.
Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. Powder-blue and chestnut shades
adorn the margins, but the majority of this Small Eagle dollar is
stone-gray. A diagonal mark on the neck was likely on the planchet
prior to the strike, and the surfaces are otherwise smooth except for
a trivial rim ding on the reverse at 6 o’clock. In a former generation
holder. (#6865)
B-l, BB-73 1797 Dollar, VF20
9x7 Stars, Large Letters
1240 1797 9x7 Stars, Large Letters VF20 PCGS. CAC. B-l, BB-73,
R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State I or II; the toning and abrasions
in the area of the “pellet” die flaw make it difficult to tell if the
“pellet” is better termed bold or faint. Moderately worn with blue
and olive overtones gracing medium-gray surfaces. Several old
pinscratches are noted in the fields. (#6863)
Die State III B-l, BB-73 1797 Dollar, VF25
9x7 Stars, Large Letters
1241 1797 9x7 Stars, Large Letters VF25 ANACS. B-l, BB-73,
R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III, with die cracks through hair
ribbon but the crack through the second T in STATES not yet
visible. A radiant midrange example, silver-gray through most of
the centers but with dramatic multicolored toning at the margins
and extending into the device areas. An unusual coin that must be
seen in person to be truly appreciated. (#6863)

VF Small Letters, 9x7 Stars 1797 Dollar
B-2, BB-74
1242 1797 9x7 Stars, Small Letters VF20 NGC. B-2, BB-72, R.4.
The deep cream-gray toning has olive-green and cobalt-blue
undertones. Nicely defined for the VF level, and marks are of little
consequence aside from a trio on the field near Liberty’s profile.
There are only three die marriages of 1797 dollars, and each is
sufficiently distinctive to merit a separately listing in the 2010
Guide Book. Bolender-2 is scarcest of the three varieties. The prior
generation NGC holder has a small chip on the lower right front
corner that has no effect on the coin’s preservation or the holder
integrity. (#6866)

Bowers-Borckardt Die State III, a late state with die crack through

Small Eagle reverse die pair is represented here by a VF coin, olive-
gray and slate-blue through the fields with lighter silver color at the
worn high points. (#6867)

B-l, BB-82, VF30
1244 1798 Small Eagle, 13 Stars VF30 ANACS. B-l, BB-82, R.3.
Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. Rich cream-gray and lavender
toning cedes to occasional glimpses of almond-gold. No marks are
remotely worthy of individual description. B-l is a separate Guide
Book variety, as the only other Small Eagle marriage has a 15 Stars
reverse. Housed in an ANA cache holder. (#6867)
1245 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Four Berries—Polished—NGC.
VF Details. B-8, BB-125, R.2. Obviously polished with bright

minor scratches and other imperfections are visible.(#6873)
1246 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 VF20 PCGS. B-30, BB-116, R.4.
Attractive, smooth medium gray surfaces with lighter gray devices
and a uniform underlying brightness. There is a small, ancient
scratch extending diagonally through some of the hair on the bust,
but one that is hardly noticeable since it has toned naturally and
blended in to the rest of the design over the course of time. No
other distinct problems for the grade, and overall an appealing
specimen of this scarce variety.
Ex: Heritage (9/2002), lot 7797.(#6873)
1247 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. VF
Details. B-8, BB-125, R.2. The Four Berries reverse, an important
and distinct Guide Book variety represented by this single die
marriage. Prominent die cracks and bulges are visible on each
side of this later die state example. While described as cleaned,
and maybe so, this example has deep steel toning with lighter
silver gray on the devices. Minor surface marks on each side are
consistent with the grade.(#6873)

Bolender variety due to prominent die cracks on each side. An
early dollar with russet-brown fields and pearbgray highpoints. The
wing plumage and hair exhibit a wealth of detail, and no marks
merit individual discussion. The reverse is misaligned a few degrees
toward 3 o’clock. (#6873)

Borckardt die state III. Attractive gunmetal-gray in the fields with
lighter silver tones on the devices. A well struck coin that boasts
strong eye appeal for the grade. There are no surface problems aside
from a rim bump on the reverse near the tip of the left wing. On
this later die state, the obverse displays encircling die cracks, with
an additional radial crack from the rim to star 7.

Bowers-Borckardt Die State III, an uncommonly seen late state
with delicate curving die crack arcing from the left arrowheads
through the field below UNITED, into the left wingtip, and
on to the lower part of the STA of STATES. This near-Mint
representative has both strong luster and attractive toning, with
deep blues and green-golds dominant and violet and olive hues in
ancillary roles. Strongly defined with only a touch of rub on the
uppermost design elements and few abrasions, though there are a

Rarity-4 1798 Dollar, B-4, BB-92, AU50
1253 1798 5 Stripes, Pointed 9 AU50 NGC. B-4, BB-92, R.4. This
very scarce variant enjoys considerable niche popularity, and a
high-end example such as the present coin should prove irresistible
to the advanced early dollar specialist. Strongly lustrous peach-gold
and silver-gray surfaces show only light wear concentrated over the
well struck high points. The coin displays excellent eye appeal and
a certified grade that compares favorably to other known survivors.

1254 1798 Large Eagle, 10 Arrows—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. VF
Details. B-21, BB-107, R.5. This rare variety Heraldic Eagle dollar
has blue-green and tan-gold toning that helps conceal distributed
small marks. Slightly glossy, but some luster remains in design
recesses.(#6876)

1255 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, 10 Arrows XF45 NGC. B-13,
BB-108, R.3. Rose-gray in color, this is an unusually well-detailed
piece which appears to be denied an even higher grade only due to
a lack of remaining luster. The surfaces are smooth for the grade,
except for numerous adjustment marks in the center of the obverse,
which are of Mint origin and common on 18th century coinage.

on the reverse are all of mint origin. (#6876)
1257 1799 7x6 Stars VG10 PCGS. B-22, BB-168, R.5. This better

mildly with pearl-gray devices and legends. Void of any obvious
marks. (#6878)
1258 1799 7x6 Stars Fine 12 NGC. B-16, BB-158, R.2. Bowers-

only detractions are a small obverse rim nick at 7 o’clock and a
hair-thin line that descends from the hair ribbon.(#6878)
Pleasing 1799 B-21, BB-169 Dollar, VF25
1259 1799 7x6 Stars VF25 PCGS. B-21, BB-169, R.3. An intermediate

intermingled tan and silver-gray toning over ivory surfaces. Perhaps
finer than graded, but with a weak strike. Here is a pleasing
early dollar that will suit the type, date, or variety collector.

lurks within design elements. (#6878)

Die State V. The so-called “Apostrophe” variety, named for the
die break after the second S in STATES. Lavender and cobalt-blue
fields contrast with the lighter stone-gray devices. Luster dominates
the margins. Close inspection locates minor thin marks near the
lips, fletchings, and horizontal shield stripes, but the overall eye
appeal is pleasing. (#6878)

Second Finest 1799 B-13, BB-151 Dollar, AU58
1265 1799 Irregular Date, 13 Stars Reverse AU58 NGC. B-13,
BB-151, R.5. The single rarest 1799 silver dollar variety
with a total estimated population of 60 to 70 coins. This is
a remarkable example of the 1799 Irregular Date obverse,
combined with the 13 Stars reverse. The two 9s in the date are
improperly placed, both high with the first 9 leaning sharply
to the left. The E in STATES has die rust inside and above,
consistent with all known examples of the variety.
This lovely near-Mint example is clearly a Condition
Census piece. The Bowers-Borckardt reference recorded
just four Notable Specimens, grading AU55, AU50 (2), and
XF45. The present piece, while weakly struck at the centers
as always, is sharper than either of the two Dr. Hesselgesser
coins illustrated on the PCGS web site. Both sides have
deep steel and violet toning with additional iridescence over
considerable original luster. The surfaces have a few trivial
marks, along with some light reverse adjustment marks.
This coin is from the famous 1975 ANA Sale, lot 945,
where it was described as “iridescent tone with mint frost about
the devices. Poorly struck up in the centers, central reverse
adjustment marks and has some trivial obverse handling
marks before Liberty’s face. One of two finest known of this
rarity and another exciting coin. Probably ex W.G.C. (F.C.C.
Boyd), Austin, Ostheimer.” Earlier, the Boyd, Ostheimer coin,
although not plated in either catalog, was described almost
the same by Lester Merkin, who wrote: “Indefinitely struck
up in centers, elsewhere very sharp. Mint frost with iridescent
cool tone; light adjustment marks on reverse, trivial handling
marks.” The similarity of descriptions leads us, as it did Dave
Bowers, to feel that the present specimen from the 1975 ANA
Sale was earlier from the Boyd and Ostheimer Collections.
The finest pieces we can trace are: The AU58 PCGS
coin from the Cardinal Collection, earlier lot 779 in Stack’s
session of Auction ‘87; the present AU58 NGC coin from
the 1975 ANA Sale; the Dr. Hesselgesser Set 1 coin that
PCGS grades XF40, but is really much nicer; and the Bo lender
Collection coin that later appeared in the Gilhousen sale and
two later Superior auctions.
There is little doubt that this coin is the second finest
known B-13, BB-151 dollar, and it is virtually as nice as the
Cardinal coin. The two coins are each considerably nicer than
the remaining coins known for the variety. (#6880)

1266 1799 8x5 Stars AU50 NGC. B-23, BB-159, R.4. Bowers-
Borckardt Die State II. The sole 1799 marriage with an 8x5 obverse
star arrangement, and thus a significant Guide Book variety. Cream-
gray, powder-blue, and almond-gold enrich this evenly struck and
splendidly defined Heraldic Eagle dollar. Undisturbed aside from a
tiny reverse rim nick at 3 o’clock. (#6881)
Elusive B-8, BB-188 1800 Dollar, VF25
1267 1800 VF25 PCGS. B-8, BB-188, R.4. Bowers-Borckardt Die
State IV. The motifs display wear commensurate with the grade,
yet silvery luster lurks near design crevices. Most of the coin is
toned deep dove-gray. Both sides are free from noteworthy marks.
Certified in an old green label holder. (#6887)
VF25 1800 Silver Dollar, B-8, BB-188
1268 1800 VF25 PCGS, B-8, BB-188, R.4. Die State III. Obverse die
dot inside lower part of R; only three star points touch clouds.
The reverse is cracked through AMER to the border over the right
side of the R, with the metal slightly elevated at this spot. This is
a later intermediate die state. The B-8 is one of the scarce 1800
varieties with about 100 to 150 pieces known today. Light gray
surfaces with considerable champagne toning highlights. A few
faint hairlines are evident from an old cleaning. Minor surface
marks are visible on each side of this pleasing dollar.
Ex: Lano Balulescu (5/2003); William Luebke (Heritage, 1/2007), lot

1800 Dollar—Struck 3% Off Center—XF40
B-l, BB-181
1269 1800 XF40 PCGS. B-l, BB-181, R.5. Die State I. Struck 3% off-
center at 1 o’clock. Die flaw at star 1; first T in STATES doubled.
The B-l variety is instantly recognizable by the horizontal bulge
between star 1 and the hair curls, present on every example seen
to date. Additional intermittent die flaws are present at star 11,
apparently also present on every known example. The Bowers
Silver Dollar Encyclopedia notes that all examples are struck from
[otherwise] perfect dies and, earlier, Bolender made no mention of
any die defects. This example has faint clash marks on both sides.
The obverse has clash marks from dentils below the date, and the
reverse has the entire date visible behind TES. In his update of
Bolender, Jules Reiver discussed these clash marks.
Several examples of this rare variety are known with less-than-
perfect centering, but few or no others have been seen with the
degree of off-centeredness found on this piece, enough for PCGS to
classify it as a mint error. The variety is a solid R.5 with only about
60 pieces known today, and nearly all in lower grades. Bowers
wrote: “Most examples are in lower grades with VG and Fine being
quite acceptable for the variety. VF coins are very rare, and any
piece over VF, such as the Spies EF, would be a sure-fire Condition
Census item. All seen are lightly struck at the centers.” A lovely
example with violet-gray color on each side, accented by lighter
gold toning. Hints of luster are still visible in the protected areas on
each side. A few faint hairlines are hidden beneath the toning.
Ex: Craig Eberhart (1/2005). (#6887)
Challenging XF 1800 Dollar, B-4, BB-186
1270 1800 XF40 PCGS. CAC. B-4, BB-186, R.4. The base of the T in

variety early dollar. Glimmers of luster are visible throughout the
reverse periphery, and no marks are noticeable on either side. An
impressive acquisition for the variety collector. Housed in a green

B-13, BB-193
1271 1800 AU50 PCGS. B-13, BB-193, R.4. Distributed clash marks
identify this scarcer die pairing. Substantial white luster sparkles
across the devices and legends of this chestnut and ivory-gray early
dollar. Slightly glossy, and surprisingly free from detrimental marks.
Light wear on the cheek, forehead, and drapery prevent an even
finer grade. (#6887)
Favored XF AMERICAI 1800 Dollar
B-19, BB-192
1274 1800 AMERICAI XF40 NGC. B-19, BB-192, R.2. A popular
Guide Book reverse distinguished by a mint-made die scratch
after the final A in AMERICA. Blended sea-green and dove-
gray encompass this attractive early dollar. The reverse has
inconsequential rim dings at 4:30 and 7:30, and a slender and faint
granular streak crosses the shield. (#6892)
1272 1800 AMERICAI Fine 12 NGC. B-19, BB-192, R.2. Star 1
closer to hair than star 7 to L; AMERICAI. Reiver die state a.
Bowers-Borckardt die state III. This is the Reiver plate coin for
the obverse of this variety. This coin was struck fairly early in this
die pairing’s life, although all reported examples of this obverse
show clashing, mostly on the lower right portion of the obverse.
Identifiable by a short die line or lump below the first star, and on
the reverse by the familiar die scratch that appears to be an I after
AMERICA. The most logical explanation for this is a major slip
by the engraver, as this does not appear to be a misplaced letter.
Toned a light silver-gray with slight mottling on the obverse, and a
scratch is noted in the left obverse field from the third star nearly
to Liberty’s hair. Weakly struck on the area above the arrows and
on the shield, and similarly weak on the upper portion of Liberty’s
hair. A relatively plentiful die marriage, but always in demand for
the AMERICAI reverse.

AMERICAI 1800 Dollar
B-19, BB-192, Fine 15
1273 1800 AMERICAI Fine 15 PCGS. B-19, BB-192, R.2. The more
available of the AMERICAI die pairs; the B-ll (BB-191) is rare.
Though significantly worn, this dollar has surprisingly light and
radiant silver-gray color, accented in gold and violet that is present
mostly at the rims. Several pinscratches are noted behind Liberty’s
head. (#6892)
1275 1800 Dotted Date—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. VF Details.
B-14, BB-194, R.3. The Dotted Date dollar is a distinctive variety
with several small die chips around the first 0. This piece has
cleaning lines visible beneath lovely blue, gray, and iridescent
toning with lighter tan on the devices.(#6889)
Popular 1800 ‘Dotted Date’ Dollar, XF45
B-14, BB-194
1276 1800 Dotted Date XF45 NGC. B-14, BB-194, R.3. Dusky plum-
gray toning deepens slightly toward the rims. This is a well-defined
example of this collectible Guide Book marriage, named for the
curious series of die dots near the first 0 in the date. Refreshingly
unmarked for the grade despite a couple of small hits near the right
shield corner, and minor obverse rim dings at 11 and 12 o’clock.
(#6889)
1277 1801 Fine 15 PCGS. B-2, BB-212, R.3. A lovely middle-grade

surfaces are pleasing for the assigned grade.(#6893)

I, with no die crack visible to the left of the date. A moderately
worn example of this scarce variety, surprisingly luminous with

Bright, Glossy AU50 1801 Dollar

glossy Bust dollar possesses a full complement of breast feathers,
and marks are surprisingly few and far between Medium golden-
brown and lilac toning does not conceal the extensive mint luster,
which dominates the borders and devices. An attractive piece
likely to command spirited floor bidding. (#6893)

A Surprisingly Clean Coin for the Grade
1280 1801 VF20 NGC. CAC. B-l, BB-211, R.3. Die State III with a
light die crack descending through STA into the clouds. Golden-

are seen on either side. (#6893)

crevices. (#6893)

highpoints as Liberty’s cheek and the eagle’s breast feathers. Lightly
toned with powder-blue, autumn-gold, and sea-green throughout
the margins. Both sides lack memorable marks, and the eye appeal
is exemplary. As of (1/10), NGC has certified 3 Large 3 dollars as

1298 1846-0 MS62 NGC. The 1846-0 Seated Liberty, from a small
mintage of 59,000 pieces, is the first silver dollar coined at a branch
mint. Medium intensity golden-brown, cobalt-blue, and violet
patination occupies both sides of this MS62 specimen, and partially
prooflike fields exhibit a degree of contrast with the well struck
devices. A few minute handling marks limit the grade. Census: 9 in
62, 2 finer (1/10). (#6933)
1299 1853—Cleaned—AU58 ANACS. This low mintage No Motto
silver dollar has substantial luster and possesses light chestnut
toning. Careful rotation reveals wispy hairlines, most prominent on
the right obverse field. (#6941)

1300 1855 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests
Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of an AU specimen that has altered surfaces from cleaning.
Cream-gray with hints of golden patina. The fields appear
smooth but are dull and cloudy. Only 26,000 pieces were struck.
(#6943)
1301 1859-0—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. Incorrectly
designated as an 1850-0 by NGC. A well struck and moderately
glossy New Orleans No Motto dollar that has scattered small marks
and dusky autumn-gold and pearl-gray patina.(#6947)
1302 1860-0 MS61 NGC. The luminous surfaces of this well struck
O-mint representative display splashes of orange, violet, and
electric-blue, more extensive and deeper on the obverse. Difficult
to locate in the better Mint State grades.(#6950)
1303 1870-CC—Altered Surfaces—ANACS. AU50 Details. Variety
2-E. A dusky and streaky slate-gray Carson City Seated dollar that
has only slight wear, but the reverse rim is somewhat abraded,
particularly between 1 and 2 o’clock.(#6964)
Choice AU 1870-CC Dollar
1304 1870-CC AU55 PCGS. Variety 2-E. Autumn-brown toning is
consistent throughout this well defined and slightly glossy Choice
AU dollar. Both sides are surprisingly devoid of marks apart from
one hair-thin vertical mark that extends from the forehead to the
shield tip. The 1870-CC dollar was the first issue struck at the
Carson City Mint. Certified in a green label holder. Population: 36
in 55, 30 finer (1/10). (#6964)
1305 1871 MS60 PCGS. A gleaming, partially prooflike Philadelphia
Seated dollar with no trace of wear. The well struck devices
and mirrored fields show numerous light to moderate abrasions.
(#6966)
1306 1872-S—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. A richly
detailed but thickly hairlined dove-gray example of this challenging
San Francisco issue. A mere 9,000 pieces were struck, and only a
handful of Uncirculated survivors are known.(#6970)
1307 1872-S—Harshly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. This low mintage
San Francisco Seated dollar is untoned and unnaturally bright.
The fields display distributed similar faint curved brush marks.
(#6970)
PROOF SEATED DOLLARS
Attractive 1856 Dollar, PR63
1308 1856 PR63 PCGS. Most 1856 proof dollars were probably issued
as part of silver proof sets, which in that year were starting to have
a wide following among numismatists. The approximately 40
examples thought by Breen to exist are more or less in line with the
60 or so seen by PCGS and NGC, after discounting resubmissions
and crossovers.
Both sides of this Select example display soft golden-tan
color accented with whispers of electric-blue and lavender at the
margins. A well executed strike delivers sharp definition to the
design elements, with no areas revealing even hints of weakness. A
few faint hairlines limit the grade. Housed in a green label holder.
Population: 8 in 63, 11 finer (12/09). (#6999)

1309 1862 PR63 PCGS. Only 550 proof dollars were struck in 1862.
Because of the uncertainties of the War, the ordering of proof
coins from the Mint had a two-tiered structure. A higher price was
required for coins purchased with currency or a bank draft, a lower
price for those purchased with coins. This is a deeply reflective
example that has pinpoint striking definition. Light hairlining can
be seen beneath the finely speckled golden-rose toning seen over
each side. Population: 49 in 63, 38 finer (1/10). (#7005)
Lovely 1866 With Motto Dollar, PR62 Cameo
1311 1866 Motto PR64 Cameo NGC. Only 725 proofs were struck
in this first year of the With Motto design, an issue that several
advanced collectors have pursued, including Jimmy Hayes. This
absolutely stunning Cameo proof offers deeply mirrored silver fields
and lustrous white devices. There is slight evidence of toning on
each side, occasionally dabbed around the margins. Every design
element throughout is fully and sharply delineated. Census: 20 in
64 Cameo, 18 finer (1/10). (#87014)
1312 1869 PR61 PCGS. This sharply struck specimen has flashy fields
and only a hint of golden toning near the rims. The right obverse
field has faint chatter, and minor planchet granularity is noted near
Liberty’s left (facing) arm. A scant 600 proofs were struck. Encased
in a first generation holder.(#7017)
1313 1870 PR61 PCGS. This precisely struck specimen is primarily
untoned, although the borders offer delicate bands of ocean-blue
and pumpkin-gold. The fields lack obvious hairlines, although
their reflectivity is slightly subdued.(#7018)

Pleasingly Toned PR63 1862 Seated Dollar
Obviously Original 1870 Seated Dollar
PR66 Cameo
1310 1866 Motto PR62 Cameo NGC. A splendid representative of the
first regular issue with IN GOD WE TRUST on the reverse. This
piece has some light hairlines that limit the grade, but it also has
exceptional eye appeal with mostly brilliant surfaces and a frame of
gold and iridescent toning. It exhibits excellent contrast between
the fields and the devices. (#87014)
Spectacular PR64 Cameo 1866 Seated Dollar
First Year of the With Motto Type
1314 1870 PR66 Cameo NGC. The proof Seated Liberty dollar saw a
mintage of 1,000 pieces in 1870. A number of these have survived
in the better levels of preservation, though pieces with a Cameo
finish are scarce. Splashes of medium intensity multicolored toning
are seen over each side with an off-center circle of brilliance
on both obverse and reverse. The surfaces are remarkably well
preserved on this Premium Gem Cameo and show no obvious
or mentionable flaws. The design elements exhibit razor-sharp
definition. Census: 2 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (1/10). (#87018)
TRADE DOLLARS
1315 1873-CC—Environmental Damage, Cleaned—AN ACS. MS60
Details. This rare date Carson City Trade dollar is mostly lustrous
but is moderately hairlined and displays a few small patches of
charcoal patina along the borders. The obverse field has scattered
minute marks. A good strike with minor softness on the right
(facing) claw.(#7032)
Well Struck Mint State 1874-CC Trade Dollar
1316 1874-CC MS61 NGC. Tall CC. Period after FINE. A hint of
golden toning on the rims accents the mostly brilliant centers.
Myriad abrasions limit the grade but minimally affect the flow
of the stunning satiny luster. Crisply struck save for the typical
weakness on Liberty’s head and the adjacent stars and on the
eagle’s right (facing) leg. Delicate die cracks are noted by the date.
(#7035)
Attractive 1874-CC Trade Dollar, MS61
1317 1874-CC MS61 ANACS. Tall CC. Period after FINE. A veneer
of violet and gold patination is more extensive and deeper on the
obverse of this CC-mint example. Well struck save for the typical
weakness on Liberty’s head and the eagle’s right (facing) leg. A few
small handling marks limit the grade, yet an attractive piece for
the MS61 designation. Most were apparently shipped to China.
(#7035)
1318 1874-S MS62 PCGS. Medium S. Period after FINE. A strongly
struck and impressively lustrous example of this Trade dollar issue,
available for a price through all circulated grades but elusive in
Mint State. Gold-gray outer toning gives way to centers that are
silver-white with milky streaks. (#7036)
1319 1875-S Chop Mark MS62 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Large
S. This lustrous Trade dollar has five chop marks, two on the
obverse and three on the reverse. A curious raised ornament
above the right leaf trio is affected by a darkly toned oval abrasion.
(#87039)
1320 1875-S MS63 NGC. Type One Reverse, Large S. Attractively
toned in peach, lemon, and powder-blue shades. A satiny silver
type coin that has only minor incompleteness of strike on the
eagle’s right (facing) leg. Field marks are refreshingly few in number.
(#7039)
1321 1876 MS63 PCGS. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse.
Wisps of olive-green adhere to light gray surfaces on the obverse
of this Select Trade dollar, while the reverse takes on mauve-
gray coloration with cobalt-blue in the recesses. Well struck save
for Liberty’s hair and the upper stars. Appealing for the grade.
(#7041)
Lustrous 1877 Trade Dollar, MS64
1322 1877 MS64 PCGS. Soft beige and rose patination runs over
both sides of this near-Gem Trade dollar, each of which displays
pleasing luster. The design elements are well struck except for the
typically-seen weakness on the stars and in Liberty’s hair. A few
light marks are undisturbing. Population: 64 in 64, 5 finer (1/10).
(#7044)
1323 1877-S MS60 PCGS. Large S. Light copper-gold toning adorns
the peripheries of this lustrous and sharply impressed Uncirculated
type coin. The fields are lightly abraded for the grade, despite
moderate marks near OF. Encased in a first generation holder.
(#7046)
1324 1877-S MS63 PCGS. Large S. The 1877-S mintage of more than
9.5 million coins was the heyday of the Trade dollar, struck in the
year before the standard silver dollar was returned from an 1873
banishment. This appealing Select piece would make a good choice
for a type set, with deep golden-gray surfaces that offer plenty of
radiant luster and a bold strike. Light obverse marks account for
the grade. (#7046)
1325 1877-S MS63 NGC. Large S. Dappled gray-blue patina is joined
by a splash of yellow-gold on the reverse. Sharply struck, and
revealing just a few minor handling marks.(#7046)
1326 1877-S MS63 PCGS. Large S. This flashy Select example displays
semiprooflike fields and scattered light toning. A small reddish-
brown spot is below the eagle’s tail. Scattered wispy marks define
the grade. (#7046)
Key 1878-CC Trade Dollar, AU58
1327 1878-CC AU58 PCGS. The mintage for the 1878-CC Trade
dollar was a mere 97,000 pieces, and many of these were probably
part of the 44,148 pieces that were melted on July 19 of this year,
thus further reducing the net availability of this key issue. Very rare
in mint condition, this near-Mint example represents excellent
value for the collector. Some of the original luster still remains
and the striking details are sharp overall and are set off by the
muted gray toning. Identifiable by a three-reed nick in the field
between the left wing of the eagle and the back of his neck. Toned
on both obverse and reverse with hazy gray-lilac toning with an
occasional dab of golden. Population: 12 in 58, 24 finer (1/10).

1328 1878-S MS64 PCGS. The 1878-S is one of the most plentiful
Trade dollar issues, and as a result is a favorite of type coin collectors.
This near-Gem has medium-density gray and blue toning over each
side with mint luster that shines forcefully through. The strike is
full in all areas and there are no noticeable abrasions on either side.
(#7048)
PROOF TRADE DOLLARS
Brilliant PR63 1873 Trade Dollar
1330 1875 PR64 Cameo NGC. Type Two Reverse. Highly attractive,
variegated gunmetal-blue, lavender, and orange-gold patination
gravitates to the margins of this near-Gem, ceding to freckles
of light gold in the central areas. Sharply struck, save for minor
weakness in Liberty’s hair and the adjacent stars. A few faint
handling marks preclude Gem status. (#87055)
1333 1878 PR65 Cameo NGC. An exquisite Gem representative
of the proof-only 1878 Trade dollar, featuring peripheral gold
and iridescent toning around brilliant central devices. The thick
and frosty white luster on the devices is nearly sufficient for a
Ultra Cameo designation. Census: 23 in 65 Cameo, 6 finer (1/10).
(#87058)
1334 1880 PR63 NGC. Golden overtones grace surfaces that are silver-
gray through the centers. A strongly struck Select proof-only Trade
dollar with minor hairlines and field scuffing that account for the
grade. (#7060)
1331 1875 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. Type One Obverse, Type One
Reverse. Apparently close to two-thirds of proof 1875 Trade
dollars are of this variant with the ribbon ends pointing left on the
obverse and berry below claw on the reverse. This is a particularly
impressive example that is brilliant overall. The devices are thickly
frosted allowing strong contrast against the unfathomably deep
mirrors in the fields. A visually pleasing coin that has a few stray
hairlines that prevent an even higher grade. Population: 6 in 64
Deep Cameo, 2 finer (1/10). (#97055)

PR64 Deep Cameo
Cameo Near-Gem Proof 1875 Trade Dollar
A Wondrously Toned Example
1329 1873 PR63 PCGS. CAC. The 1873 is the rarest date as a proof
in the run from 1873 through 1883. While 865 proofs were struck,
attrition has taken a heavy toll on this date. Breen believed about
200 pieces were sold to non-collectors and were subsequently spent,
accounting for the date’s rarity. This is an all-brilliant example that
has nicely reflective, flashy mirrors in the fields. It is also fully
struck in all areas, which is not a given on 1873 proofs. Both
obverse and reverse are lightly hairlined, explaining the grade.
Population: 46 in 63, 36 finer (1/10). (#7053)
1332 1878 PR63 Cameo PCGS. The proof-only 1878 Trade dollar is
infrequently seen with cameo contrast. This light champagne-
toned piece has brilliant silver surfaces with fully mirrored
fields and satiny, sharply detailed devices, combining to create
excellent eye appeal. Population: 25 in 63 Cameo, 26 finer (1/10).
(#87058)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
1335 1880 PR62 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Whispers of soft gold and violet
patina are discernible only under magnification and the field^motif
contrast confirms the Cameo designation. An above'average strike
leaves strong definition on the design elements, including Liberty’s
head and the adjacent stars, areas that are often weak. Some wispy
handling marks limit the grade but detract little from the pleasing
overall eye appeal. (#87060)
Deeply Mirrored PR64 1881 Trade Dollar
1336 1881 PR64 PCGS. A highly collectible and sought'after date
among the later, proof-only issues. The 1881 had a mintage of only
960 pieces. The remarkably aspect of this piece is how deep the
proof mirrors are in spite of the depth of toning seen over each side.
The surfaces are murky light gray with underlying multicolored
iridescence, a color scheme that may not sound all that appealing,
but seen here with the bright mirrors it is definitely attractive. The
striking details are complete throughout and there are no obvious
or detracting contact marks. (#7061)
Lovely 1883 Trade Dollar, PR64 Cameo
WlUTEliriFft ftiHJH
1337 1883 PR64 Cameo PCGS. This silver-white near-Gem has some
grayish'gold patina but remains largely untoned in the centers.
The considerable field'device contrast is duly noted by PCGS, and
there are few mentionable abrasions—a lovely example for a type
set. The 1883 proof-only Trade dollar is the last regular issue in the
series: The 1884 and 1885 are ultrarare fabrications from a later
era. Population: 25 in 64 Cameo, 20 finer (12/09). (#87063)

PATTERNS
Rare 1839 Judd-97 Restrike Half Dollar, PR64
1338 1839 Half Dollar, Judd-97 Restrike, Pollock-107, High
R.7, PR64 NGC. The Backward Head design. The obverse
is much like that found on the regular-issue 1839 gold eagles,
with a rounded tip on the forward edge of the bust truncation
and a pointed tip on the rear edge—but the entire head faces
backward from that on the eagle, right rather than left. Thirteen
stars ring the rim, with date 1839 below. The reverse is from
the regular-issue Seated Liberty die, Large Letters, as used from
1842 through 1853. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
Commentary. In the 1976 ANA sale the cataloger described
this coin as, “Brilliant Proof. Deep blue obverse, pink and
russet iridescent toning on the reverse. An extremely rare coin,
high Rarity 8, with no recent records.” The 1989 cataloger
quoted the above while adding, “In our opinion today the
Rarity 8 rating stands intact. The only other specimen offered
in two decades was the example in Rarcoa’s session of Auction
‘81, lot 327. No specimen was included in the Olsen, Garrett,
Malcolm Jackson, Crouch, or even Woodin collections. The
only earlier record we have was the Farouk Sale, lot 1733.”
It appears from the census below that today we should rate
the piece as High R.7 rather than R.8, as perhaps five or even
a half-dozen pieces might exist. This still puts the variety in
the stratosphere of the super-rare, with—a little numismatic
perspective here, please—far fewer known survivors than the
1933 double eagle or the 1804 silver dollar.
USPatterns.com says, “Stewart Witham noted 146 reeds
[the edge reeding] on these, which according to a reed count
listing from Bill Bugert of the Liberty Seated Collectors Club,
means they were likely struck some time between 1854 & 1860
although this reed count was also used in 1869 and 1870.”
Physical Description. The splendid original toning present in
the 1976 description above is still much in evidence, perhaps a bit
more mellowed but just as stunning. This near-Gem boasts a sharp
strike, particularly on the reverse, that is equally appealing.
Census. We believe that only four or five separate specimens
exist (including one in the Smithsonian), with most of the
older appearances representing duplications:

Judd-168 Original Flying Eagle
1855 Cent, PR63 Brown
1339 1855 Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168 Original, Pollock-193, R.4,
PR63 Brown PCGS. Thirteen stars surround an eagle that is
flying slightly upward, similar to the Christian Gobrecht/Titian
Peale flying eagle design for the Gobrecht dollars (and soon the
Flying Eagle cents). The reverse design is similar to the issued large
cent. The diameter is intermediate between the large cents struck
for commerce in 1855 and the small cents that were first produced
in 1856. Struck from clashed dies in bronze with a plain edge.
This is a precisely struck cent whose deep brown surfaces exhibit
plum-mauve and golden-tan shades once rotated beneath a light.
Infrequent minute carbon determines the grade. (#11720)
Choice Transitional 1859 Indian Cent
Judd-228, Snow-PT4
1340 1859 Indian Cent, Judd-228, Pollock-272, R.1, MS64 PCGS.
Snow-PT4. A popular transitional Indian cent pattern. The
obverse has the regular issue 1859 Indian cent obverse design, and
the reverse displays the issued 1860 Indian cent reverse. Struck in
copper-nickel with a plain edge. This is a boldly struck example
that shows just a bit of weakness on the upper shield details.
Isolated hints of carbon account for the grade. In a green label
PCGS holder. (#11932)
1861 GOD OUR TRUST Half Dollar
Judd-279, PR61
1342 1861 Half Dollar, Judd-279, Pollock-330, Low R.7, PR61
PCGS. From regular issue dies except that GOD OUR TRUST
is present sans scroll in the reverse field above the eagle. Struck
in silver with a reeded edge. Probably a dozen or so examples are
known of this and the copper variant. This example is mostly
brilliant with a faint trace of russet around the margins. The
surfaces are obviously hairline, accounting for the grade, and there
are a couple of lint marks on the obverse. (#12106)
PR62 Cameo 1863 GOD OUR TRUST
Half Dollar Pattern, Judd-338
1343 1863 Half Dollar, Judd-338, Pollock-410, R.5, PR62 Cameo
PCGS. The obverse is the regular Seated Liberty die for 1863; the
reverse is like the regular issue, with the addition of GOD OUR
TRUST on a scroll above the eagle’s head. Struck in silver with
a reeded edge. An early prototype of the religious-motto class,
considerably contrasted with deep silver, blue, and violet shadings
through the mirrored fields. Scattered hairlines, perhaps more
concentrated in the right obverse field, account for the grade.
(#60500)
Lovely Gem Proof Judd-239
Silver 1859 Half Dollar
1341 1859 Half Dollar, Judd-239, Pollock-295, R.4, PR65 PCGS.
One of several half dollar patterns from this year that feature the
“French Head of Liberty”, credited to Longacre. The reverse depicts
the denomination as 1/2 DOLLAR, instead of HALF DOLLAR
(Judd-237 and Judd-245), 50 CENTS (Judd-241), or HALF DOL.
(Judd-243). Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Caramel-gold visits
the obverse, while the reverse displays apple-green and walnut-tan
shades. Well struck and pleasing with fine vertical die lines (as
issued) on the right obverse field. (#11972)

Prized 1865 Judd-453 Twenty Dollar
With Motto Pattern in Copper, PR64 Brown
1344 1865 Twenty Dollar, Judd-453, Pollock-526, High R.6, PR64
Brown PCGS. Both the obverse and the reverse are similar to the
regular issue 1865 double eagle except that the motto IN GOD WE
TRUST was added above the eagle as adopted in 1866. Struck in
copper with a reeded edge. The Judd-453, both gilt and ungilt (as in
the present case), has been a collector favorite from the time of its
creation to the present day. The PR64 Brown example offered here
is a lovely representative of the very rare pattern, olive-brown with
ethereal blue and violet elements that form deep pools in small
pockets on the reverse. Excellent definition and visual appeal.
Population: 3 in 64 Brown, 1 finer (12/09). (#60640)
Pleasing 1868 Three Cent Nickel Pattern
Judd-618, PR64 Cameo
1345 1868 Three Cent Nickel, Judd-618, Pollock-687, R.4, PR64
Cameo PCGS. The design is similar to the regular-issue three
cent nickel, but with the wreath farther from the rims and no ribs
in the reverse columns. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. An
attractive Cameo specimen of this very scarce pattern, strongly
reflective in the minimally toned fields with delicate but delightful
frost over the devices. Population: 3 in 64 Cameo, 1 finer (1/10).
(#860834)
Near-Gem Proof Judd-633 1868
Five Cent Pattern
1346 1868 Five Cents, Judd-633, Pollock-705, R.5, PR64 PCGS.
The obverse design is that of the three cent nickel, as adopted, but
on a larger planchet, with minor design modifications appropriate
to the larger diameter. The reverse features a Roman numeral
V in the center, with a wreath encircling, scroll with IN GOD
WE TRUST and Maltese cross above. Struck in nickel with a
plain edge. Light blue and green tints on the generally nickel-gray
obverse give way to deeper colors on the reverse. An attractive
example of this intriguing pattern, housed in a green label holder.
(#60851)
Outstanding PR66 Judd-721
1869 Standard Silver Quarter
1347 1869 Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-721, Pollock-802,
R.5, PR66 PCGS. The obverse features a bust right of Liberty
wearing a cap ornamented with three stars. A scroll bearing IN GOD
WE TRUST is below. The reverse depicts 25 CENTS centered in
a small wreath of oak and laurel leaves with STANDARD SILVER
above and the date 1869 below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
A magnificent Premium Gem draped in dusky aquamarine and
autumn-gold shades. Fully struck and undisturbed. Population: 1 in
66,0 finer (1/10). (#60948)
Challenging Judd-882 1870 Quarter, PR61
1348 1870 Quarter Dollar, Judd-882, Pollock-980, High R.7, PR61
PCGS. A regular issue Motto reverse quarter is paired with a
William Barber rendition of the seated Liberty. She faces left and
holds an olive branch and a Federal shield. A Liberty pole ascends
behind her arm. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. A well struck
stone-white specimen that has minor die rust on the reverse. The
glassy fields provide noticeable contrast with the radiant devices.

Judd-987, PR63
1349 1870 Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-889, Pollock-988,
Low R.7, PR63 PCGS. A bust of Liberty wearing a cap
ornamented with three stars facing right, the legend UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA surrounds the figure, and a scroll with IN
GOD WE TRUST is below. The reverse reads 25 CENTS 1870 in
the center and is surrounded by a wreath of cotton and corn. Struck
in silver with a plain edge. This boldly struck example has good
field reflectivity, and is untoned aside from a deep blush of ruby-red,
orange, and cobalt-blue at 1:30 on the obverse. (#61133)
1352 1870 Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-987, Pollock-1116,
High R.6, PR63 PCGS. Standard Silver design with Liberty
facing right wearing a headband with a star, a scroll below, and
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above. The reverse has 50
CENTS in the center and is surrounded by a wreath of oak and
laurel with 1870 below and STANDARD SILVER above. Struck in
silver with a reeded edge. Honey-gold and powder-blue enrich this
moderately toned and well struck representative. The right obverse
field displays a few faint contact marks. (#61233)

PR62 1871 Five Cent Pattern, Judd-1053
1351 1870 Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-918, Pollock-1022,

facing right with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
around the upper border. Liberty wears a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY,
and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is on a scroll near the lower
border. The reverse displays the denomination 25 CENTS within
a wreath of laurel and oak. STANDARD SILVER is at the top, the
date 1870 is below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. A lightly
toned and flashy specimen that lacks hairlines, but both sides
have several interesting mint-made lintmarks, the most prominent
above the hair bun. (#61162)
1354 1885 One Cent, Judd-1740, Pollock-1950, High R.6, PR45
PCGS. This annular pattern cent has a central perforation with
a smooth, raised edge. The obverse has UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA above with the date 1885/3 at the bottom of that side.
On the reverse, ONE CENT is in large letters at the top with a
small shield below flanked by laurel sprigs. Struck in silver with
a plain edge. The Eastman Johnson design, a clever if eventually
unadopted concept. This proof shows considerable rub on the sage-
silver surfaces, consistent with time spent as a pocket piece, for
example. Population: 2 in 45, 8 finer (12/09). (#62181)

PR62, Struck in Silver
1350 1870 Standard Silver Quarter Dollar, Judd-915, Pollock-1011,

head of Liberty wearing a diadem and a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY
in raised letters. The reverse reads STANDARD SILVER 1870
around the rim with 25 CENTS in the center of an oak and laurel

struck representative is vividly toned in magenta-red, sun-gold, and
navy-blue. No surface detractions are noted despite examination
beneath a lens. (#61159)

NGC. The bust of Liberty is similar to that seen on the issued
three cent nickel. Simple laurel wreath and denomination reverse.
Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Though a number of tiny
contact marks and a few spots of deep reddish toning are present on
this specimen, the surfaces offer a strong nickel-white gleam. High
visual appeal for the grade. (#61312)

Pleasing 1849 No L Gem Gold Dollar
1356 1849 No L MS65 PCGS. This scarce variety lacks the designer’s
initial on the bust truncation. Yellow-gold surfaces display pleasing
frosty luster, and the design elements are sharply impressed, save for
softness in the uppermost stars. This well preserved Gem shows light
die cracks on the reverse. Population: 28 in 65, 9 finer (12/09).

Exceptional MS66 1849 Gold Dollar
Open Wreath, With L
1357 1849 Open Wreath MS66 PCGS. CAC. Breen-6001. This Open
Wreath variant also has the L initial (for designer James Longacre)
prominently punched on the truncation of the neck. The Breen
reference calls this and the 6002 listing “Small Head” varieties.
Several years ago, John Dannreuther proved conclusively that the
head is not actually smaller than on the so-called “Large Head”
varieties. Instead, Longacre moved the stars inward on a later hub
modification, thus giving the optical illusion of a larger head on
that hub and subsequent dies.
This is an exceptionally attractive example of this always-
popular first year of issue. The surfaces display lovely, swirling mint
frost and yellow-orange gold color. The striking details are full in
all areas, and there are no obvious abrasions on this Premium Gem.
“Ghosting” of the central obverse device is seen in the center of
the reverse. Population: 12 in 66, 2 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7502)
Sharp 1849 Closed Wreath Gold Dollar, MS66
1358 1849 Closed Wreath MS66 PCGS. CAC. Breen-6006, thin
numerals in date. A shining example with heavy mint frost and
lovely canary-gold toning across both sides. The design details
are produced with astonishing crispness and clarity. Diagonal die
striations cover the flashy, semiprooflike reverse. A beautifully
preserved Premium Gem example of this first-year gold dollar issue.

1359 1849-C Open Wreath XF45 NGC. Nearly every series has its key date(s), important coins that are required to complete a collection.
However, throughout the entire panorama of American coinage, there are a few issues that stand out as major rarities. Among the most
important is the 1849-C Open Wreath gold dollar, of which there are just four confirmed examples, with a fifth piece rumored. We are
delighted to present this XF45 NGC piece, the third finest of the four known coins. The 1849-C is peerless in the field of Southern mint gold
coins struck in Charlotte, North Carolina; Dahlonega, Georgia; or New Orleans, Louisiana.
In fact, the 1849-C Open Wreath gold dollar has few peers among all regular issue U.S. gold coins. The unique 1870-S three dollar piece is
a special issue; the 1797 Heraldic Eagle half eagles with 16 stars and 15 stars on the obverse are each unique in the Smithsonian Institution;
the 1822 half eagle has just three known (including two in the Smithsonian Institution); the 1854-S half eagle has just three known; the 1861
Paquet double eagle has just two known; and the 1933 double eagle has just one in collectors’ hands, but 13 are known. Any of those coins
would easily bring seven figures if offered at auction today. There are a few additional million-dollar coins, but none are in the same rarity
category as the 1849-C Open Wreath gold dollar.
The 1849-C Open Wreath has had difficulty keeping pace with other major rarities. The current auction record for any example of this
issue was established in July 2004, when the finest known example realized $690,000. That was a time when eight other coins had already
broken the seven-figure barrier. Doug Winter writes in the third edition of Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint 1838-1861 that “this variety
remains underpublicized among non-specialists. Among Charlotte collectors, it has assumed near-mythic proportions.” The time is right for
the 1849-C Open Wreath gold dollar to make its own place among auction records for rare coins—and the time is also right for the forward-
looking collector to add this coin to his or her collection.
As with most major rarities, the provenance of the known 1849-C Open Wreath gold dollars is subject to continual refinement. The NGC
Census Report lists this coin and two others, an MS63 Prooflike piece and one that grades Fine 15. A single AU58 coin appears on the PCGS
Population Report, and all four certified coins are listed in our roster:
1. MS63 Prooflike NGC. Richmond Collection (David Lawrence, 7/2004), lot 1005, $690,000; to a partnership of Heritage Rare Coin
Galleries, Martin Paul, and Steve Contursi; sold to a private collector in 2005 for a sum reportedly close to $1 million. Winter writes that this
coin “is said to be ex: New Netherlands inventory in the 1950s.”
2. AU58 PCGS. The discovery coin for the 1849-C gold dollar. Waldo Newcomer; Belden Roach Collection (B. Max Mehl, 2/1944), lot
1083; Charles Williams Collection; Robert Schermerhom Collection; 1956 ANA Sale (James Kelly, 8/1956), lot 1571; later, a Midwestern
Collection; Auction 79 (Stack’s, 7/1979), lot 749, $90,000; New England Rare Coin Galleries; private collection; 1982 FUN Sale (New
England Rare Coin Auctions, 1/1982), lot 1350, $55,000; Southern Collection; Kevin Lipton; Winthrop Carner; North Georgia Collection
(1999 FUN Sale, Heritage, 1/1999), lot 7722, unsold; Doug Winter and Hancock and Harwell; James Blanchard & Co.; a North Carolina
Collection (Heritage, 4/2006, lot 1520, unsold. The 1944 Mehl catalog of the Roach Collection is apparently the earliest record of the variety
in print. The March 1951 issue of The Numismatist carries a notice from Robert Schermerhom that he acquired his coin “about eight years
ago.” Since the Charles Williams Collection was not sold until 1950, Q. David Bowers questions that portion of the provenance.
3. XF45 NGC. New England Rare Coin Galleries, circa 1978-1979; a Delaware Collection; later, Jefferson Coin and Bullion, to a private
collector. This is the present specimen, and its first auction appearance, and to the best of our knowledge its first plated appearance.
4. Fine 15 NGC. The reverse is scratched and shows traces of an old jewelry mounting. “McReynolds” prior to 1956; Leo Young; Charles
Southwick; 1974 GENA Sale (Pine Tree Auctions, 9/1974), lot 1952, $35,000; Elrod Collection (Stack’s, 5/1986), lot 1330, $25,850; a
California Collection (via Winthrop Camer for a reported $150,000); Heritage Rare Coin Galleries (1997); William Miller Collection; Long
Beach Sale (Heritage, 2/1999), lot 6086, unsold; 2000 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/2000), lot 7549, $86,250; Ashland City Collection (Heritage,
1/2003), lot 4607, $97,750; a North Carolina Collection (via Doug Winter).
In addition to those four coins, Doug Winter records the possible existence of a fifth piece that “was supposedly owned by a Connecticut
dealer back in the 1960s or 1970s.” Bowers published his own take on the roster of known specimens, giving each of the five coins a distinctive
name, although he gives little other information useful for tracing the pedigree of the different coins. He listed the Newcomer specimen (our
number 2), the New Netherlands specimen (our number 1), the McReynolds specimen (our number 4), the Lumadue specimen owned by
Connecticut dealer Donald Lumadue (the coin Winter mentions), and the Private Collection coin (our number 3, the present piece).
Waldo Newcomer (1867-1934), the famous early 20th century collector, was the first to recognize this important variety, sometime before
1933. Most of the Newcomer Collection was sold to B. Max Mehl in 1931, although remnants of the collection were offered at auction by J.C.
Morgenthau in 1939.
All past authors have written that the reason for the change from the Open Wreath to the Close Wreath is unknown. It is virtually certain
that the Open Wreath coins were struck before the Closed Wreath coins, and delivery records suggest the date was July 3, 1849. In A Guide
Book of Gold Dollars, Q. David Bowers writes that “two examples were sent to Mint Director Robert Maskell Patterson in Philadelphia, who
replied that the coins were not well made, that the milling was too prominent, and that, in any event, new dies were being sent.” The
exchange appears to indicate why the change took place from the Open Wreath to the Close Wreath, and why so few of the former pieces
were made.
Although two pairs of dies were sent to Charlotte in June 1849, it seems that only one pair was used. All known 1849-C Open Wreath
gold dollars have the same characteristics. Doug Winter describes them: “The star opposite the tip of Liberty’s nose has a short right point and
it is weaker than the other stars. The leaf below the 1 in the date is hollow while the tip of the leaf below the 9 is partly detached. The ribbons
are incomplete due to die lapping. A tiny die file mark can be seen above the RI in AMERICA.”
Described in print for the first time, this splendid Choice XF piece has a slight greenish appearance with traces of yellow luster visible in
the protected areas around the design motifs, letters, and stars. Light wear has flattened the hair strands below the coronet and over the ear,
with all other details quite sharp. As Mint Director Patterson mentioned, the obverse and reverse borders are prominent. Trivial surface marks
are seen to some degree on each of the known specimens, including this piece, with a prominent mark below Liberty’s chin that will serve for
future identification.
The current offering is the 13th time that an 1849-C Open Wreath gold dollar has appeared for public competition in any auction sale
since 1944, an average of once every five years. Offerings have taken place in 1944, 1956, 1974, 1979, 1982, 1986, 1999 (2), 2000, 2003,
2004, 2006, and now in 2010. It is impossible to predict when the next auction appearance may take place, but the year 2016 seems a
reasonable guess. The Charlotte gold specialist who has waited to obtain this “near-mythic” variety may well want to take advantage of the
present opportunity.

Condition Census 1849-C Closed Wreath Dollar
MS64, Tied for Finest Graded
1360 1849-C Closed Wreath MS64 NGC. Variety 1. The U.S.
Mint was quite late coming to the gold dollar party. The
Bechtler family of Rutherford County, North Carolina—
capitalizing on the nation’s first gold rush nearly two decades
before that in California—had produced private gold coinage
since 1831, the year of their first gold dollar.
The Mint had fiddled with gold dollar patterns as early as
1836. That was the year in which it produced the derivative
Judd-67 dollar patterns, based on the Liberty Cap and Rays
design of Mexican silver coinage. The same design would
be used on Mint medalets produced that same year that
commemorate the first U.S. steam-powered coinage.
But it would be another 13 years, until 1849, before the
first federal gold dollars were produced. Meanwhile, the young
nation had opened branch mints in New Orleans; Dahlonega,
Georgia; and Charlotte, North Carolina, but only New Orleans
struck both gold and silver. The two inland mints struck only
small-denomination gold, so it came as no surprise when
Charlotte struck gold dollars in the first year of the federal
coinage, alongside Dahlonega, Philadelphia, and New Orleans.
The Charlotte mintage, however, at 11,634 coins was a pittance
compared to the much-larger productions in Philadelphia and
New Orleans. The fiddling was not yet completely over, as the
design went through several iterations in its first year, and later
subtypes would appear in 1854 and 1856. The Open Wreath
1849-C is a fabulous rarity, while the Closed (or Close) Wreath
is scarce in all grades and a true rarity in Mint State. The
1849-C Closed Wreath dollars are usually found prooflike, with
convex obverse fields that give a bulged look to the coins.
The present example offers semiprooflike fields and surfaces
that feature full pinpoint strike definition throughout. The
bright yellow-gold surfaces show tinges of reddish patina in the
protected areas. The grade is accounted for by several minor
ticks in the right obverse field. A short but prominent die crack
runs on the reverse from the top of the 1 in the date to O(F).
Doug Winter estimates that no more than a dozen pieces of
the 1849-C Closed Wreath are known in Mint State. This is
the first time we have ever handled this issue in MS64 since we
began maintaining our Permanent Auction Archives, and the
present piece is tied with one other NGC-certified piece for the
finest graded (1/10). The finest certified by PCGS are several
pieces in MS63, all of which we have handled, that Doug
Winter lists at the top of his Condition Census from 2008.

(#7507)
1364 1849-0 Open Wreath MS61 NGC. This wonderful New Orleans
gold dollar has bright yellow surfaces with frosty luster and bold

coins, with most survivors showing light wear. Several obverse die
cracks are present. (#7508)
1365 1849-0 Open Wreath MS62 PCGS. Yellow-gold surfaces yield
well struck motifs, though the 8 and 4 in the date exhibit the usual
weakness. Light granularity is noted, especially on the obverse
portrait. (#7508)
1368 1850-C XF40 PCGS. Variety 1. Orange-tinged luster outlines the

Unworn 1849-D Gold Dollar
1362 1849-D—Scratches—NCS. Unc Details. Variety 1-A, with
mintmark to the left of the knot on the wreath. This lemon-gold
example of this first-year Dahlonega gold dollar shows no evidence
of wear, though numerous scratches pass through the fields below
and to the right of the portrait, as well as around the 1 in the
denomination. (#7507)
1363 1849-D MS63 NGC. Variety 1-A with the mintmark left of center
below the bow knot. With a mintage of 21,588 coins, the 1849-D is
the most plentiful Dahlonega Mint gold dollar. The production was
one-third of the entire gold dollar mintage for all years in Georgia.
As it is also the first year of issue for the denomination, the 1849-D
is considered the perfect Dahlonega Mint type coin of the Type One
gold dollar design. Although shy of the Condition Census for the
date, this 1849-D is a lovely piece with brilliant green-gold luster
and reflective surfaces. It is sharply struck, although the border is
weak in places as always. Census: 17 in 63, 8 finer (12/09).

Sharply Struck 1849-0 Open Wreath Gold Dollar, MS64
1366 1849-0 Open Wreath MS64 PCGS. All known examples of the
1849-0 gold dollar are of the Open Wreath variety. This lustrous
near-Gem displays apricot-gold and mint-green patination, and
a decisive strike delivers sharp definition to the design elements,
enhancing the coin’s eye appeal. A few trivial marks preclude Gem
status. Population: 15 in 64, 4 finer (12/09).

1850-C Gold Dollar, MS62
A Notable, Lower Condition Census Coin
1369 1850-C MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. The 1850-C is one of the
scarcer gold dollars from the Charlotte Mint. Only 6,966 pieces
were produced, and the typical survivor is only VF or XF. Almost
Uncirculated pieces are scarce, and Mint State pieces are rare.
Probably only five to 10 coins exist in Mint State, from a total of
150 to 250 coins in all grades.
This lower-Condition Census coin is tied with at least three
other pieces at the MS62 level. The fields are bright with a
glimmer of semireflectivity on each side. Both obverse and reverse
lack the granularity often seen, and both sides show pronounced
reddish patina. The devices are sharply struck also. Identifiable by
a horizontal die flaw just to the left of the middle of the 1 on the
reverse. Population: 4 in 62, 1 finer (12/09).

Low Mintage 1850-0 Gold Dollar, MS63
1370 1850-0 MS63 NGC. CAC. The 1850-0, with a mintage of
14,000 pieces, is the rarest New Orleans gold dollar, although it
trades at lower values than the popular Type Two 1855-0. Most
‘50-0 survivors grade AU, but this example is unworn and sharply
struck. The borders display potent luster, and the open fields lack
any noticeable marks. Census: 6 in 63, 1 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7512)
Lovely MS66 1851 Gold Dollar
1371 1851 MS66 NGC. An influx of California-mined gold increased
the relative value of silver, which drove Seated coinage out of
circulation. Gold dollar mintage peaked between 1851 and 1853,
to replace hoarded silver coins in commerce. Few pieces were
saved, however, and Premium Gems are rare today. Boldly struck
and nearly pristine with a lustrous straw-gold appearance. Census:
18 in 66, 8 finer (12/09).

1372 1851-C AU58 ANACS. Variety 1, and identified here by the

Spectacular MS66 1851-C Gold Dollar
1373 1851-C MS66 NGC. Variety 1. Every now and then, a coin
comes along that has no real reason to exist. The nature of
production and distribution of the Southern mint gold are such
that a survivor of any issue in Premium Gem quality is essentially
unheard of. The NGC and PCGS population reports each show
two MS66 examples of this date certified, although we tend to
think those figures only represent two or three different coins.
None have ever received a higher grade.
This Premium Gem has frosty and brilliant yellow-gold luster

Uncirculated 1851-D Gold Dollar
1374 1851-D MS61 NGC. Variety 3-E. The heavy die crack at the
right reverse is distinctive for the variety, which Winter speculates
may have been struck entirely in June 1851. This sun-gold survivor
has noticeable luster and is minimally marked for the grade. The
centers are incompletely brought up, as usual for the Dahlonega
facility. Census: 19 in 61, 34 finer (12/09).

Desirable Gem 1851-0 Gold Dollar
1375 1851-0 MS65 PCGS. A wonderfully original Gem that exhibits
orange and olive-gray toning. Only minor marks are evident, and
the lustrous fields and devices are well struck except for slight
inexactness at the centers. Virtually uncollectible any finer.

Gorgeous 1852 Gold Dollar, MS67
1376 1852 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Although PCGS has certified four
finer pieces, including an MS69, this Superb Gem is an amazing
type coin with pristine, essentially perfect surfaces, frosty yellow
and orange-gold luster, and bold design motifs. The difference
between this coin and a higher-grade piece is a judgment call, with
a trifle more iridescent toning required for the higher grade. More
than 2 million pieces were coined, and survivors are available
in any grade desired, providing collectors with an excellent
opportunity to choose between market price and grade. Population:

The upright of the 1 in the date extends below the base. This

green-gold surfaces. (#7518)
Outstanding 1852-C Gold Dollar, MS65
Tied for Second on the Condition Census
1378 1852-C MS65 NGC. Variety 2. Charlotte produced fewer
than 10,000 gold dollars in 1852, and though NGC and PCGS
combined report over 200 certifications, several authors suggest
the survival rate is closer to 100 pieces. This example has the
common Mint-made planchet or die problem in the center of the
reverse that blurs the definition of LA in DOLLAR. However,
from a mint notorious for striking problems, this is a beautiful coin.
Liberty’s hair, the centers of the obverse stars (save for one below
the point of the neck), and the reverse wreath are all strongly
defined, though the dentils on the obverse are mushy. This amazing
coin also displays vibrant luster and bright honey-gold color. The
surfaces are exceptionally clean for the grade; a couple of areas of
roughness on the lower neck and before and behind Liberty’s neck,
and through the reverse denomination, are typical for the issue and
neither particularly distracting nor grade-affecting.
The third (2008) edition of Winter’s reference on Charlotte
Mint gold enumerates one MS66 NGC example as the finest known,
and each of the five Gems known are certified by NGC. This coin
is listed as tied for second finest on the Condition Census.

1380 1852-0 MS64 NGC. Mint State specimens of the 1852-0 gold
dollar are rare, and Garrett and Guth rank it as the third-rarest
O-mint behind the 1850-0 and 1855-0. This lovely near-Gem is
well struck, with honey-gold surfaces and good eye appeal. There
is some central striking weakness noted on the reverse, with LA
and the 5 in the date soft, but this piece more than compensates in
other ways. Census: 12 in 64, 2 finer (12/09).

1381 1853 MS64 NGC. An intricately struck near-Gem gold type coin

Sharp 1853 Dollar, MS66
1382 1853 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1853 is common through the Gem

and finer specimens are rare. Honey-gold patination resides on the
lustrous surfaces, and a well executed strike leaves sharp definition
on the design elements. Both sides are well cared for. Population:
26 in 66, 11 finer (12/09).

Near-Census 1853-C Gold Dollar, MS63
1383 1853-C MS63 NGC. Variety 1, the only known die pair from a mintage of 11,515 coins. Doug Winter calls the 1853-
C the “worst struck Type One gold dollar from the Charlotte Mint.” However, the present piece is a delightful exception to that rule,
with bold hair details, sharp star centrils, and strong leaf details. It is a lovely Mint State piece with lustrous green-gold surfaces
that exhibit hints of orange toning. Both sides have reflective fields that impart excellent eye appeal. An MS65 and three MS64 coins
are the finest certified pieces, followed by this MS63 and 12 others that NGC has certified. PCGS has certified three MS63 coins, with
none finer. Here is an amazing opportunity to acquire a solid Mint State example on the outskirts of the Condition Census.

Superlative 1853-D Gold Dollar, MS66
Possibly the Finest Known
1385 1853-D MS66 NGC. CAC. Variety 5-G. Before the
appearance of this Premium Gem, the finest 1853-D gold dollar
that we had ever offered in our auctions graded just MS64.
In fact, this is the only piece that is certified as MS66, with
none finer. Behind this coin are two PCGS MS65s and two
NGC MS64s. In the second edition of his reference, Doug
Winter records the existence of two different MS66 NGC
coins, both from a Jackson, Tennessee hoard, although only
one piece currently appears in the NGC Census Report. No
illustrations of the two coins in Winter’s Census exist, as far
as we know. The piece that Winter lists first is described as
prooflike and may be this example.
Winter records the discovery of the Jackson hoard,
including gold dollars and other coins mostly dated in the
1850s, during construction of a parking lot. “A frenzy ensued
and a number of workers stuffed their pockets with various
coins, ranging from gold dollars to eagles.”
This example clearly shows the die line from the rim to the
star at 9 o’clock, as well as other obverse markers. A vertical
die line passes just left of the star at 11 o’clock, and heavy
die lines are evident along the profile, especially at the neck
and throat. Both sides have incredible mint brilliance with
mirrored fields and boldly defined devices. Amazing green-gold
luster remains, creating far above-average eye appeal for the
issue. Census: 1 in 66, 0 finer (12/09).

1386 1853-0 MS64 NGC. A near-Gem representative of this available
(and thus popular) Southern gold dollar issue, crisply detailed with

Rare Gem 1853-0 Gold Dollar
1387 1853-0 MS65 NGC. If an example that grades between AU58

scarce, MS64 coins are very scarce, and full Gems are rarities. This
is a precisely struck and lustrous New Orleans gold dollar that has
clean surfaces and peripheral orange toning. Census: 10 in 65, 2

AU Sharpness 1854-D Gold Dollar
1389 1854-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. Variety 6-H,
the only known die pair. Though recent years have brought greater
availability to the 1854'D gold dollar, such availability has made
the issue merely “very scarce” in all grades instead of an absolute
rarity. This modestly worn example should appeal to a wide range
of collectors, though it does show hairlines on its blue-tinged
butter-yellow surfaces. (#7526)
AU Details 1854-D Gold Dollar
1390 1854-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. Variety 6-H,
the only known dies. Only 2,935 pieces were struck for this difficult
Dahlonega issue. An olive-gold example with a hint of wear on
the hair near the ear. The obverse field is faintly hairlined, and
the reverse rim has been tooled near 6 o’clock. Although slightly
granular, the surfaces lack noticeable marks. (#7526)
Stunning Type One 1854 Gold Dollar, MS66
1388 1854 Type One MS66 NGC. Both the 1854 Type One and
Type Two gold dollars were minted in generous quantities in
Philadelphia, totaling more than 1.6 million pieces between the
two types. This attractive piece shows evidence of die clashing
on each side, more prominently on the reverse, and both dies
show evidence of fatigue in the form of metal flow lines. Die
cracks join a few of the star points with the obverse rim. The
poststrike preservation, however, is as exemplary as the eye appeal
is superlative. Census: 26 in 66, 7 finer (12/09).

Mid-Condition Census 1854-D Gold Dollar
MS62, Ex: Ashland City
1391 1854-D MS62 NGC. Variety 6-H, the only known die pair.
Writing in 1965, Walter Breen stated that only 25-30 1854-D
gold dollars are extant from a minuscule original mintage of 2,935
pieces. The actual number of survivors is closer to 85-95 pieces (per
Winter, 2003), but this does not change the fact that the ‘54-D is a
rare coin that is always in demand among advanced specialists. This
date ranks fourth in overall rarity among D-mint gold dollars after
the 1855-D, 1856-D, and 1861-D, and third in high grade rarity after
only the 1855-D and 1856-D. Since the low end of the Condition
Census is two MS60 coins and one MS61 piece, the present MS62
representative also qualifies for this coveted distinction. It is
actually ranked #3 on Winter’s Condition Census.
The present example displays lovely golden-rose color over
satiny surfaces. The diagnostic die scratches (as produced) are
evident on both sides, particularly on the reverse around the D
mintmark, and the striking bluntness over the lower left reverse
is also characteristic of the issue. There are a few moderate
distractions in the lower left obverse field, but the eye appeal is
above average for the MS62 grade level and extraordinary for a
survivor of this often worn and/or impaired date. Identifiable by
an obverse abrasion before the star at 12 o’clock and a reverse
planchet void (as struck) below the first S in STATES.

Scarce 1854-S Gold Dollar, MS63
1392 1854-S MS63 NGC. The inaugural year of the San Francisco
Mint led to two great numismatic rarities, the 1854-S half eagle and
quarter eagle. The 1854-S gold dollar is collectible, and has a low
mintage of 14,632 pieces. The issue was likely coined to help meet
a local need for small denominations, since no silver was struck at
the facility that year. The present example has scintillating luster
and lovely apricot toning. No marks are consequential, and the
strike is sharp throughout. Census: 5 in 63, 9 finer (12/09).

Amazing MS64 1854 Type Two Gold Dollar
1393 1854 Type Two MS64 PCGS. The short-lived Type Two gold
dollar has long provided a focal point for gold type enthusiasts, who
often turn their attention to the Philadelphia issues rather than the
more challenging mintmarked dates. While the Type Two 1854
gold dollar is available for a price even in MS64, anything finer is
decidedly scarce, and few near-Gems approach the eye appeal of
this survivor. Frosty, swirling orange-gold luster enlivens minimally
marked surfaces. While the central devices show slight softness of
detail, the overall eye appeal is redeeming. PCGS has graded 64
finer pieces (1/10). (#7531)

Marvelous MS66 ★ 1854 Type Two Gold Dollar
1395 1854 Type Two MS66 ★ NGC. The first section of the 1849
Coinage Act reads:
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represent
tatives of the United States of America in Congress
assembled, That there shall be, from time to time,
struck and coined at the mint of the United States, and
the branches thereof, conformably in all respects to law,
(except that on the reverse of the gold dollar the figure
of the eagle shall be omitted,) and conformably in all
respects to the standard for gold coins now established
by law, coins of gold of the following denominations
and values, viz.: double eagles, each to be of the value of
twenty dollars, or units, and gold dollars, each to be of
the value of one dollar, or unit.”
Previously, only quarter eagles, half eagles, and ten dollar eagles
had been produced by the United States. The significant gold
deposits discovered in California the prior year were undoubtedly
the motivation behind this coinage act authorizing two
additional gold coin denominations. By the end of 1849, nearly
1 million gold dollars had been struck at the four U.S. mints.
In 1854, the size and design of the gold dollar were altered
slightly. The coins were made thinner, with the diameter
increased from 13 to 15 millimeters. The obverse portrait of
Liberty was changed to the likeness of an Indian princess and
also made smaller. This new Type Two design had problems,
however, like the Type One; Type Twos were only made from
1854 through 1856, creating a scarcer type for coin collectors.
This marvelous Premium Gem example displays intense,
shimmering mint frost over honey^gold surfaces. The design
elements are sharply struck and the coin is free of poststrike
distractions. Moderate clash marks are noted on both obverse
and reverse, a typical feature of the Type Twos. Although NGC
has graded eight pieces as MS66, this is the only one to also
receive the coveted Star designation for exceptional eye appeal.
Three coins have been certified numerically finer by NGC, but
none of them were awarded the Star (12/09). (#7531)
1396 1855 MS61 NGC. Minimally abraded save for a slender mark

Miraculously Preserved
1855 Type Two Gold Dollar, MS66
1397 1855 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Diminutive yet precious, the gold
dollar holds a special place in the hearts of many a collector.
The denomination was born out of the flood of gold that
came from California beginning in 1849. The nation’s mints
began producing large quantities of gold dollars, which had
their greatest commercial use on the West Coast but gained
acceptance nationwide.
Breen comments in his Complete Encyclopedia that from
1849 through 1854 “gold dollars formed the bulk of the
nation’s legal circulating medium between the 3 c and the $2.50
denominations,” eagerly sought by the public as alternatives to
the often worthless and unredeemable private bank notes and
store scrip, both of which flooded the country as the value of
gold and silver fluctuated. The little gold dollar was hardly worth
melting, compared to the eagle, and was highly useful, accounting
for its broad acceptance in the 1850s. But the coin proved to be
too easily dropped—and lost—in its initial version.
Beginning in August 1854, a new, thinner but wider-diameter
version appeared—what we call the Type Two gold dollar.
Liberty was replaced by a charming, feathered Indian princess—
the first obeisance on national coinage to Native Americans,
who were not to become a “national enemy” until the Indian
Wars that followed the Civil War and intensified in the 1870s.
Mint Director Snowden requested the new design from his
talented engraver, James Longacre, along with a “bigger sister,”
the three dollar gold piece. Longacre intended the image of
Liberty as a Romanesque version of the classic Venus (from a
marble statue he saw in a Philadelphia museum) but the public
saw the headdress and a classic was named. In fact, it became
the inspiration for the Indian cent. The new-style gold dollar,
however, lasted only a matter of months. The government’s
set exchange rate—the ratio of gold to silver—could not be
maintained, constantly threatening all gold pieces with private
melting for profit. Many gold dollars struck during the period
of this type’s manufacture (less than two years) failed to survive
the decade, accounting in part for their rarity today.
The style was elegant, a deft rendering of Liberty in her
feathered bonnet, in noticeable high relief, but as Breen says,
“The coins proved unsatisfactory from the beginning. Longacre
had miscalculated, overestimating the power of the coining
presses then in use.” It was a sheer manufacturing problem,
especially for the Southern mints, which used older presses
discarded by the main facility at Philadelphia. The coins
most often were poorly struck, with weak features that wore
quickly in use. Many were officially melted. The final type
of this denomination, made beginning late in 1856, was the
same size but in lower relief yet more deeply engraved, making
the coins easier to produce with full details, and therefore
they would endure far longer. What did not endure, in any
number, were the Type Two issues—most of them unsharp to
begin with, easily worn, largely melted and recoined into the
new type. High-grade survivors such as this exciting piece
somehow escaped, and as such are miraculous reminders of
those perilous days so long ago.
The surfaces of this piece are exceptional in every regard, as
the grade indicates. The life of the coin, its luster, is thick and
frosted, and unbroken by the abrasions that usually afflict Type
Two gold dollars. The striking details are uncommonly sharp,
with only the slightest hint of softness in the centers. The
bright yellow-gold surfaces show a moderate overlay of light
reddish patina. One of only 13 pieces so graded by PCGS, with
a mere four coins finer (12/09).

Scarce 1855-D Gold Dollar, AU58
Variety 7-J
1398 1855-C—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. Variety 2.
As a Type Two issue struck by a Southern mint, the 1855-C gold

defined example is over-bright from a past cleaning, the yellow-
gold devices show only the slightest evidence of actual wear. Struck

Rare, High-Grade 1855-C Gold Dollar, AU58
The Only C-Mint Type Two
1400 1855-D AU58 NGC. Variety 7-J, and slightly scarcer than variety
7-1. The only Type Two gold dollar struck in Dahlonega, the 1855-
D had a remarkably low mintage of only 1,811 coins. About 75 of
those coins are believed to survive today, about 4% of the original
mintage. This piece ranks high among the survivors. NGC has only
certified six Mint State pieces, probably including resubmissions.
Likewise, the 14 AU58 pieces almost certainly include some
resubmissions. This piece is almost identical to another AU58
NGC example, also variety 7-J, that appeared in our 2010 FUN
auction. Light green-gold surfaces have a few minor blemishes
on each side as expected. Traces of wear on the high points have
slightly deeper gold color. Census: 14 in 58, 6 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7534)
1399 1855-C AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The mintage for the 1855-C is a
low 9,803 pieces, but remarkably an estimated 250 to 350 pieces
are known in all grades. The majority of those survivors are VF,
and only 28 to 45 pieces are believed extant in AU condition. As
always, this piece shows a notable lack of high-point definition
in the center of each side. This weakness makes the 1855-C a
difficult coin to grade, but on this piece slight traces of luster
surround the devices. The surfaces are orange-gold with traces of
lilac on the reverse. The only mentionable mark is a tiny one just
in front of the lower part of Liberty’s brow.

Near-Gem 1855-0 Gold Dollar
Tied for Finest Certified
1401 1855-0 MS64 NGC. The Type Two gold dollar was a short¬
lived series that was only produced for less than three years. The
Type One gold dollar had proven unpopular because its small
size rendered it easily lost in pants pockets or purses. The Mint
addressed this problem by increasing the planchet’s diameter from
13 mm to 15 mm. Of course, the planchet’s width was reduced
to maintain weight and fineness standards. This measure had the
unfortunate effect of making the coins extremely difficult to strike
up. Type Two dollars are generally seen with soft strikes, with the
1855-0 perhaps better than average in that respect. Such problems
caused the design to be abandoned after only three years.
The 1855-0 is the last gold dollar from the New Orleans Mint.
It is also the only Type Two gold dollar produced at the historic
facility. In Collecting & Investing Strategies for United States Gold
Coins, Jeff Ambio writes of the issue:
“Of the six issues in the Type II gold dollar series, only two
readily present themselves as potential candidates for inclu¬
sion in an advanced type set of rarer issues. The first is the
1855-0, which I believe to be among the more underrated
coins in the entire U.S. gold dollar series. Survivors from
an original mintage of 55,000 pieces are scarce in all grades
and decidedly rare in Mint State.”
There are currently no specimens graded at the Gem level
or above. The present example displays an above-average strike,
with some softness on the date and LL of DOLLAR that is seen on
almost all Type Two gold dollars. The color is a rich butter-yellow,
with traces of golden-brown. Eye appeal is far above average for the
issue. NGC and PCGS have certified a combined total of 11 coins
at this level, with none finer (12/09).

1407 1857-C MS61 NGC. Variety 1, the only variety known. Although
the Mint issued the first Type Three gold dollars in 1856, the first
examples were not struck in Charlotte until the following year.
Interestingly, the mintage of the 1857-C—13,280 pieces—is on
the high side compared to most series issues, it is among the rarest
in Mint State. This is partially because the 1857-C is, on average,
one of the worst produced gold coins in U.S. history. Only a select
few Mint State examples have been certified, none above MS62.
The present coin offers an excellent opportunity to acquire one
of the finest representatives of this desirable issue. Pleasing olive-
gold patina endows the surfaces of this lightly marked specimen.
Although the quality of this issue is notoriously poor, this piece
exhibits a significantly sharper strike and fewer defects than typically
seen. The fields have a wavy appearance, as usual, and there is
minor deterioration on the rims. Nonetheless, the surfaces are fairly
smooth overall, and patches of luster appear throughout, remarkable
for the issue. A number of die cracks are noted on both sides. This
piece has great eye quality compared to the average 1857-C, which
is usually seen dull and rather rough. PCGS has certified just one
example at the MS61 level, with none finer. NGC reports four
MS61 representatives, which may represent multiple submissions
of the same coin, along with only two MS62 specimens (12/09).

Desirable 1859-C Gold Dollar, MS62
1413 1859-C MS62 NGC. Variety 1, the only known dies. The 1859-
C is the last gold dollar made at the Charlotte Mint and has the
lowest mintage (5,235 pieces) of any C-mint issue. In the third
edition of Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint, 1838'1861 , Douglas
Winter estimates that 150 to 250 pieces are known, with a mere
eight to 12 in Mint State.
Attractive brass-gold color with faint blushes of light green
covers soft luster, and the strike is well above average for the issue.
While minor softness is noted on portions of the Indian’s hair, the
O in DOLLAR, and the 8 in the date, the issue ordinarily displays
weak design definition throughout. Winter points out that “the
1859-C is always found with a very weak obverse” and “the reverse
is poorly struck as well.” Some minute handling marks preclude a
higher grade. Census: 15 in 62, 0 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7552)
1414 1859-D—Rim Filing—NGC. Unc. Details. Variety 11-N. Luster
shimmers from the legends and devices of this rare date gold dollar.
A minor pinscratch near the first A in AMERICA provides the
only relevant mark. The reverse rim at 9:30 has a small filed area.
Just 4,952 pieces were struck.(#7553)
Brilliant 1859-D Gold Dollar, MS63
1415 1859-D MS63 NGC. Variety 11-N. Survivors of this issue are
probably the most frequently encountered Dahlonega Mint Type
Three gold dollars, but most of them only grade about AU50 or
AU55. Relatively few Mint State examples have been certified.
Light clash marks are noted on the both sides. The pretty surfaces
are medium golden-yellow, and the central reverse details, the 85
in the date, are somewhat mushy but legible (on some examples,
those numbers are completely missing). Some light field chatter
accounts for the grade, but there are no singular contact marks.
Census: 8 in 63, 6 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7553)
1416 1860 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Green-gold luster dominates this
sharply impressed near-Gem. A loupe locates only unimportant
faint field grazes. A low mintage date, particularly when compared
with the 1861 and 1862. Population: 14 in 64, 10 finer (12/09).

Uncirculated 1860-D Gold Dollar
From a Tiny Mintage of Only 1,566 Pieces
1417 1860-D MS61 NGC. Variety 12-P, the sole variety for the year.
Mint State coins of this issue are quite rare, although a surprising
number of survivors, mostly circulated, exist for a date with so tiny
a mintage. Only 1,566 business strikes were produced, most of
dubious quality including poor strikes and planchets. This example
offers a typical strike for the issue, comprising the always-weak U in
UNITED and softness on the top of the 6 in the date and the O in
DOLLAR, which is nearly obliterated. The reverse rim at 3 o’clock
shows little denticulation remaining, also strike weakness, and the
bow details are incompletely brought up. But the luster is good and
there is strictly no trace of high point rub, as expected. Light field
chatter marks and planchet roughness account for the grade, but
there are no singular abrasions. Census: 5 in 61, 4 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7556)
1418 1860-S AU58 NGC. The peach-gold surfaces of this near-Mint
State example are imbued with traces of mint-green and retain
luster in the recessed areas. Sharply struck, including all letters
in LIBERTY and the bow knot. Census: 50 in 58, 35 finer (1/10).
(#7557)
Low-Mintage 1860-S Gold Dollar, MS61
1419 1860-S MS61 NGC. The 1860-S has a low mintage of 13,000
pieces as well as a low survival rate, making Mint State coins hard
to come by. Rich orange-gold coloration runs over this MS61
specimen, and an exacting strike imparts sharp detail to the design
motifs. A few light marks are undisturbing. A nice coin for the
designated grade. Census: 20 in 61, 14 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7557)
Extraordinary 1861 Gold Dollar, MS 6 7
1420 1861 MS67 PCGS. CAC. An extraordinary Superb Gem, this
gold dollar is one of just two MS67 pieces certified at PCGS, with
two others in the same grade certified by NGC. Neither service
has graded a nicer piece. The date is readily available in lower
Mint State grades and is an excellent choice for type collectors,
representing the Type Three design at the beginning of the Civil
War. This beauty has satiny yellow-gold luster with incredible
iridescent toning. It is boldly detailed despite shallow design motifs.
Both sides exhibit clash marks, stronger on the reverse.

Famous 1861-D Gold Dollar
1421 1861-D PCGS Genuine. Variety 12-Q, the only known dies.
The PCGS number ending in .82 suggests Filed Rims as the
reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this
coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an
AU specimen that is scratched and has obverse damage and filed
rims. Pinscratched beneath the A in STATES and above the ES
in STATES. A brief pinscratch is also present beneath the date.
The holder makes the rim filing difficult to observe. This desirable
Dahlonega dollar, struck by Georgia or the Confederacy from
Federal dies, has apricot-gold color and occasional peripheral
softness of strike. (#7559)
Crisply Struck 1862 Dollar, MS66
1422 1862 MS66 NGC. With a mintage exceeding 1 million pieces,
the 1862 gold dollar is one of the most common dates of the series.
That generalization does not fit Premium Gems, however. Ebullient
luster endows both sides of this crisply struck specimen, each of
which displays attractive greenish-gold coloration. Census: 52 in
66, 8 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7560)
Well Struck 1866 Gem Gold Dollar
1423 1866 MS65 PCGS. Die striations are visible in the partially
prooflike fields of this lovely Gem. Variegated yellow-gold and
apricot patina occupies both sides, each of which displays a degree
of field-motif variance. A well struck piece with minimal marks.
Population: 10 in 65, 13 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7565)
Sparkling Prooflike 1867 Gold Dollar, MS66
1424 1867 MS66 NGC. It is unsurprising that this piece has bright,
shimmering prooflike fields since the mintage is so low. Only
5,250 pieces were produced, and most likely the initial die polish
never diminished when the last coin was struck. As Breen notes
(1988): “many with clash marks.” This piece has dramatic clashing
on both sides, but the most interesting by far is the complete
word LIBERTY below the date, clashed from the obverse
headdress. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold and there are no
mentionable abrasions, just a bit of planchet granularity to the
right of the denomination on the reverse.

Difficult Gem 1868 Gold Dollar
1425 1868 MS65 NGC. Gold coins failed to circulate in the years
immediately after the Civil War, driven from commerce by
unbacked Federal paper money. Thus, only 10,500 gold dollars were
struck in 1868, excluding the meager proof mintage of 25 pieces.
The present Gem business strike has vibrant luster and an exacting
strike. Only a couple of trivial marks on the left obverse field
prevent an even finer assessment. Census: 2 in 65, 3 finer (12/09).
From The Longfellow Collection. (#7567)
Remarkable 1874 Gold Dollar, MS67
1426 1874 MS67 PCGS. The 1873 and 1874 have much larger mintages
than any other post'1862 gold dollars. The Mint apparently
anticipated a demand that never emerged, partly because the
paper dollar again failed to reach equality with its gold equivalent.
That finally occurred in 1878. The relatively high mintage of
the 1874 makes the issue prevalent in typical Mint State, but
Superb Gems are undeniably rare. The present sharply impressed
example has comprehensive luster and rich copper-red toning.
Beautifully preserved, and unimprovable from PCGS. Population:
33 in 67,0 finer (12/09).

Significant 1875 Gold Dollar, MS66
Low-Mintage Rarity, Tied for Finest Certified
1427 1875 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Three-quarters of the way through
the 19th century, the U.S. Mint managed to create a remarkable
series of rarities with the memorable date of 1875. The coinage
emphasis in that year was large-denomination silver coins
and double eagles. Gold and silver coins had not circulated
in any significant way since the Civil War year 1862, but the
government was gearing up for the “parity” between gold and
silver coins and paper currency that was expected to take place
in January 1879. Accordingly, the double eagle was produced
to the extent of more than 1.6 million pieces at three mints,
complementing more than 5 million Liberty Seated quarters
and 10 million Seated halves.
Except for the double eagle, all of the 1875 gold coin issues
were struck in minuscule quantities; all of them are great rarities
today. In the case of the gold dollar, the mintage was a skimpy
400 business strikes, plus 20 proofs, one of the lowest mintages
of any “regular-issue” U.S. coin. Akers makes these cogent
comments in his still-useful 1975 reference on the gold dollar
series:
“With so low a mintage, essentially all specimens are
‘first strikes’ and therefore invariably have full proof-like
surfaces. This has given rise to the false notion that the
1875 gold dollar is more common in proof than it is
in uncirculated condition. Most cataloguers have mis¬
takenly called Uncs. ‘proofs’ over the years, as one can
readily see from the auction records below .... Actually,
the Uncs. are readily distinguishable from the proofs
because all uncirculated 1875 gold dollars have a small
thorn-like projection from the throat into the field.
This projection is seen only on the Uncs., not on the
proofs, and no matter how much a particular 1875 may
look like a proof, if it has the projection from the throat
into the field, it is an Unc.”
Akers goes on to say that the proof is a great rarity and
deserves recognition. However, the business strikes are quite
rare as well, a rarity that increases with condition: NGC has
certified 31 pieces in all grades including Prooflike pieces, the
highest a single MS66 non-Prooflike piece. PCGS has graded
54 examples in all grades but has certified no Prooflike examples
of any gold dollar issue. Nonetheless this MS66 piece is one of
the two finest certified at PCGS, and a marvelous coin it is.
Rich reddish-gold surfaces offer just a hint of interspersed lilac,
especially noticeable over the wreath on the reverse. The fields
on each side are fully prooflike and nicely reflective. The piece
is problem-free, as expected of the grade, although a couple of
faint Mint-made file marks run from the C in AMERICA upward
into the field. The small “thorn-like” projection that Akers
notes, diagnostic of business strikes, is clear at the throat.
This coin presents a significant opportunity to obtain one of the
finest certified examples of this prime rarity, an opportunity that
may not soon repeat. Series specialists must act accordingly.

1428 1876 MS64 Prooflike NGC. The reflective fields are minimally
abraded. The strike is bold save for the 8 in the date. As with
most other gold denominations from this date and mint, the 1876
mintage was very low. Only 3,200 pieces were struck. Census: 5 in
64 Prooflike, 1 finer (1/10).(#77577)
1429 1877 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1877 gold dollar is a popular date
primarily because of the cachet attached to the date and the many
rare coins issued in this year. The gold dollar had a mintage of 3,900
pieces and it is scarce, but not as difficult as the 1876 or 1878. This
is a lovely, reddish-tinged example that has the usual semiprooflike
fields on each side. The striking details are sharp throughout, and
there are no singularly mentionable abrasions on either side.

Gorgeous Gem 1878 Gold Dollar
1430 1878 MS65 PCGS. Watery reflectivity makes up much of this
Gem’s luster, with bold sun-yellow and paler lavender-silver colors
enlivening each side. Preservation, as expected for a Gem, is
excellent. With just four finer examples known to PCGS (1/10), a
top-flight example of this low-mintage issue. (#7579)
Impressive 1878 Gold Dollar, MS66
1431 1878 MS66 NGC. An issue that is seldom offered as a Premium
Gem, the 1878 (3,000 business strikes produced) is the rarest post-
1876 gold dollar. The finish is semiprooflike, as expected for a low-
mintage gold dollar from the late 1870s, and the devices display
pinpoint striking definition in all areas. The reddish-gold surfaces
reveal slight counterclockwise die rotation. A few faint lines on
each side appear at first glance to be pinscratches, but we believe
them to be as struck. Census: 5 in 66, 2 finer (12/09).

That said, specimens in this lofty grade are infrequently seen.
Luminous brassy-gold surfaces appear to reach out to the observer.

Immaculate 1881 Gold Dollar, MS68
1435 1881 MS68 NGC. The mintage of three cent nickels spiked in

continued its trend of minimal production. Just 7,620 pieces were
struck. A number of those fell into numismatic hands, but any gold
dollar is highly desirable at the pristine MS68 level. This exactingly

possibility of resubmissions. Both sides are prooflike with virtually
flawless surfaces. Even a strong glass fails to reveal more than a few
trivial blemishes on each side. This piece has brilliant yellow surfaces
with lovely iridescent toning that enhances its eye appeal. Among

MS68 1885 Gold Dollar
Tied for Finest Certified
1440 1885 MS68 NGC. Despite a higher mintage than some of the

than many in high Mint State grades. Any year, however, would
be truly remarkable and extremely rare in MS68. Many collectors
have to wait years before there is an opportunity to acquire such
a spectacular example, and it is essentially impossible to find
a representative any finer. The present specimen is powerfully
struck, and the butter-yellow surfaces exhibit vibrant, satiny luster
throughout. This simply breathtaking representative appears
flawless, even under magnification. PCGS has certified no
examples at this level, and NGC reports just three other pieces in
MS68, with none finer (12/09).

Nearly Perfect MS68 1888 Gold Dollar

PROOF GOLD DOLLAR
Pristine MS68 1889 Gold Dollar
1447 1889 MS68 NGC. Born out of the California Gold Rush in
1849, the gold dollar passed from the coinage scene in 1889 rather
ignominiously, with a mintage of only 28,950 business strikes.
Many examples were apparently saved, as today the 1889 is the
most common gold dollar from the 1880s. MS68 coins, however,
remain conditionally rare. This gorgeous example displays rich
orange-gold coloration over pristine, satiny surfaces. The strike
is razor-sharp throughout, and the overall appearance is one of

EARLY QUARTER EAGLES
BD-2 1802/1 Two and a Half, AU58
1449 1802/1 AU58 NGC. Breen-6118, BD-2, High R.5. A mere 3,035
pieces were struck of the 1802 quarter eagle. Probably more than
250 pieces exist today in all grades, making the 1802 the second
most “common” date in the series—’’common” being relative, of
course, when speaking of this challenging design type. As with many
other dates in the Capped Bust Right series, the 1802 is known for
soft central details and adjustment marks. This attractive example
has bright surfaces. As expected, the centers are weakly struck, and
light diagonal adjustment marks occur on the reverse. The surfaces
are lightly abraded, but the only marks worth mentioning are a
shallow planchet flake in the exergue above the 8 in the date, and a
Z-shaped scratch just below the AM of AMERICA on the reverse.

that was nearly steady through the issue’s meager mintage of 4,160
pieces, nearly all of which were melted as old-tenor currency after
the weight adjustments of 1834. Rich butter-yellow surfaces offer
glossy luster on this near-Mint representative, which shows light
wear but few overt abrasions on the reverse. The obverse has small

combine the allure of Southern gold with the old-style Classic Head
design are in high demand from a broad range of collectors, and
the 1839-C quarter eagle is no exception. This radiant near-Mint
piece has bold gold-orange luster with only slight rub on the softly
struck high points. A handful of scattered abrasions are consistent
with brief circulation. NGC has graded 17 numerically finer pieces

Delightful MS61 1840-0 Quarter Eagle

the grade. Population: 4 in 61, 7 finer (1/10). (#7720)
Scarce 1841-C Quarter Eagle, AU55
1455 1841-C AU55 NGC. CAC. Variety 1, the only variety for the

NGC/PCGS figures show a disproportionate number of AUs,
which is likely explained by resubmissions, as the number of coins

Challenging 1844-C Quarter Eagle, XF45
1457 1844-C XF45 NGC. Variety 1. The 1844-C quarter eagle is one
of the more difficult C-mint issues, with relatively few and often
low-quality survivors from a mintage of just 11,622 coins. Also,
the striking quality is generally poor and sometimes planchet flaws
can be a problem as well. This piece shows the usual softness in
the centers, but smooth surfaces without severe marks make it a
desirable representative at the XF45 grade level, and worthy of a
specialist’s attention. (#7735)

Condition Rarity 1845-0 Quarter Eagle, AU58
1458 1845-0 AU58 NGC. The 1845-0, coming from a minuscule
mintage of 4,000 pieces, is extremely scarce in circulated grades
and a major rarity in Mint State. The yellow-gold surfaces of this
near-Mint State specimen retain luster in the recessed areas and
are minimally marked. Well struck except for the usual localized
weakness on the eagle. The 18 of the date shows the typical
recutting. Census: 8 in 58, 2 finer (12/09). (#7739)
1459 1846 AU58 NGC. The Liberty quarter eagle specialist will want
to take careful consideration of this near-Mint 1846, a scarce date
in all grades. Both sides have a few trivial surface marks that are
present on virtually all known examples of the 1846. The surfaces
are bright greenish-gold with considerable luster.(#7740)
Surprising MS61 1847 Quarter Eagle
1460 1847 MS61 PCGS. Pale yellow, with hints of lime in the centers
and orange along the peripheries amid traces of reflectivity in the
fields. As usual for the date, the left (facing) leg of the eagle is
softly struck. The surfaces are quite smooth for the grade. A die
crack bisects the reverse, extending from the fraction along the
right (facing) wing. Very scarce in Mint State. Population: 4 in 61,
5 finer (1/10). (#7744)
1461 1847-C—Obverse Damage—NGC. AU Details. Variety 1, the
only known die pair. Despite a few minor scrapes on the obverse,
this is an attractive green-gold example with faint orange toning in
the fields. Perhaps lightly cleaned, this piece retains considerable
luster. (#7 745)
1462 1847-D—Altered Surfaces—AN ACS. AU50 Details. Variety
9-M. This low mintage straw-gold Dahlonega quarter eagle has
hints of luster and is free from obvious marks. Slightly bright,
perhaps from an encounter with baking soda. (#7746)
Flashy Near-Mint 1847-D Quarter Eagle
1463 1847-D AU58 NGC. CAC. Variety 9-M, sole die pair for the
year. A remarkably sharp near-Mint representative of this popular
Dahlonega issue with virtually intact yellow-gold luster. The coin
is temptingly close to Mint State, with only a touch of friction
blending with the slight striking softness found on Liberty’s central
curls. Census: 46 in 58, 17 finer (12/09). (#7746)
Elusive 1848 Quarter Eagle, MS61
1464 1848 MS61 NGC. The 1848 quarter eagle, with its small mintage
of 6,500 pieces, is a scarce issue. This MS61 example displays
apricot-gold surfaces splashed with mint-green. The fields are
partially prooflike, especially on the reverse which shows die polish
lines. Sharply struck, except for the usual weakness on the eagle’s
left (facing) leg. Wispy obverse handling marks limit the grade.
Census: 9 in 61, 9 finer (12/09). (#7748)
Bright 1848-C Quarter Eagle, AU58
1465 1848-C AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The left base of 1 in the date
is over a space between dentils and the second 8 is closer to the
dentils than to the bust. Bright yellow-gold surfaces reveal just a
few small marks. The design features are well defined except for
the typical weakness on the eagle’s legs. Census: 35 in 58, 16 finer
(12/09). (#7750)

Bright 1850-0 Quarter Eagle, AU58
1466 1850-0 AU58 PCGS. CAC. The bright yellow-gold surfaces
of this near-Mint State quarter eagle possess ample luster. The
peripheral elements are sharply impressed, though the central
areas are weak, particularly on the reverse, a major characteristic
of surviving examples of this issue. There are no major marks to
report. Population: 9 in 58, 19 finer (1/10). (#7758)
Pleasing 1857-S Quarter Eagle, AU58
1471 1857-S AU58 NGC. Most 1857-S quarter eagles are in the
Extremely Fine to mid-About Uncirculated grade levels, and Mint
State pieces are difficult to come by. The yellow-gold surfaces of
this near-Mint State example retain a good amount of luster and
exhibit well struck design features. A remarkably clean coin for
having seen some circulation. (#7785)
Choice AU 1851-D Quarter Eagle
Delightful 1858 Quarter Eagle, MS64
1467 1851-D AU55 NGC. Variety 14-M, as always for this issue, from
a mintage of 11,264 coins. This piece has pale green-gold color
with considerable luster remaining on both sides. The central
motifs show some weakness, especially on the eagle’s neck and left
(facing) leg. Here is an attractive piece for the advanced collector.
Census: 14 in 55, 19 finer (1/10). (#7761)
1468 1853 MS64 NGC. Here is a remarkable Choice Mint State
example of a conditionally rare date, from a large mintage of more
than 1.4 million coins. The surfaces are frosty with rich lemon-
yellow luster and amazing eye appeal. Census: 66 in 64, 17 finer
(1/10).(#7767)
1469 1854 MS63 PCGS. Attractive red-gold surfaces are well struck
save for the eagle’s left (facing) leg and show only a few grade-
consistent abrasions. There is a small reverse die crack from
ST(ATES) to the rim, and faint evidence of die clashing on the
reverse. An appealing example of this historic issue. Population: 40
in 63, 27 finer (12/09).(#7769)
Appealing 1854-0 Quarter Eagle, MS62
1470 1854-0 MS62 NGC. CAC. The 1854-0 can be located with
minimal difficulty in lower grades, but is a rare coin in Mint State.
Certified population figures indicate that examples above MS62,
the grade of the current offering, are seldom seen. Lustrous yellow -
gold surfaces are well struck, save for the typical weakness on the
central reverse. The few minuscule marks present take nothing
from the pleasing overall eye appeal. Census: 16 in 62, 2 finer
(1/10). (#7772)
1472 1858 MS64 NGC. The 1858 quarter eagle is scarce in all grades
and rare in near-Gem and finer. This MS64 specimen displays
yellow-gold surfaces and sharply struck design motifs, save for
the usual softness in the eagle’s left (facing) leg. Die polish lines
in the fields point to semiprooflike characteristics. An occasional
contact mark denies Gem status. Census: 5 in 64, 2 finer (1/10).
(#7786)
Old Reverse 1859 Quarter Eagle, MS61
1473 1859 Old Reverse, Type One MS61 NGC. In 1859, the
Philadelphia Mint modified the reverse of the quarter eagle,
shrinking the lettering and the arrowheads on that side, but coins
with the old reverse were also struck in 1859 and on into 1860 and
1861. This 1859 Old Reverse piece has strong yellow-gold luster
and solid overall detail, though the eagle’s legs show a degree of
softness. Census: 18 in 61, 14 finer (1/10). (#97788)
1474 1861 Old Reverse, Type One AU55 NGC. The Old Reverse,
noted for its wider arrowheads and slightly larger letters relative
to the New Reverse, was coined for the final time in 1861. Most
quarter eagles that bear this date have a Type Two, or “new” reverse,
and Old Reverse examples merit a substantial premium. This is an
attractive straw-gold Choice AU piece with substantial peripheral
luster and no relevant marks. The eagle’s legs are incompletely
brought up, as usual for the issue.(#97794)

1475 1861 Old Reverse, Type One MS61 PCGS. Coinage dies were
converted from the fat arrowheads of Type One to the slender
arrowheads of Type Two in 1859, although some of the old reverse
dies remained unhand. Such was the case when this coin was struck
in 1861. Apparently no one noticed at the time that the incorrect
reverse die was placed in the press. Here is a splendid example
with strong design details, fully brilliant yellow luster, and pleasing
surfaces for the grade. (#97794)
Near-Gem 1861 Type Two Quarter Eagle, MS64
1476 1861 New Reverse, Type Two MS64 PCGS. The normally seen
new reverse has long, slender arrowheads that are separated from
each other. This lovely example is fully brilliant with frosty yellow
luster and splashes of rose toning. A couple marks on Liberty’s
cheek prevent a higher grade. PCGS has only certified 30 finer
pieces. (#7794)
Low Mintage 1861-S Quarter Eagle, AU53
1477 1861-S AU53 PCGS. The 1861-S is a scarce West Coast issue
that is even more challenging than its mintage of 24,000 pieces
would suggest. Most of the known examples are VF-XF, and only
a handful of coins have been certified in Mint State. This AU53
represents excellent value and is one of the finer pieces available.
Close examination with a loupe shows light hairlining on each
side. Light reddish patina is present, and only slight softness is seen
in the centers. (#7795)
1478 1862 AU58 NGC. One of the more frequently encountered Civil
War gold coins. The mintage was 98,508 pieces, highest in the
post'1861 Civil War era. This is a bright yellow-gold example that
shows signs of handling in the fields and is peppered with numerous
small but individually insignificant abrasions. (#7796)
1479 1868 AU58 NGC. Sharply struck with a degree of reflectivity in
the watery fields. Lightly abraded throughout but with only a touch
of friction on the high points to preclude a strictly Mint State
grade. Census: 72 in 58, 20 finer (12/09).(#7807)
1480 1869 MS61 NGC. A sharply struck pumpkin-gold rare date
quarter eagle. A mere 4,320 pieces were struck, most of which were
melted long ago. A few minute marks on the field above the eagle
are of little account. Cartwheel luster occupies the borders and
devices. Encased in a prior generation holder. Census: 12 in 61, 5
finer (12/09). (#7809)
1872-S Quarter Eagle, MS61
1481 1872-S MS61 PCGS. A well directed strike leaves strong
definition on the design elements except for the usually weak legs
of the eagle. Yellow-gold surfaces show a good amount of luster
and a few minute contact marks. Mint State coins are seen rather
infrequently. Population: 2 in 61, 7 finer (12/09). (#7816)
1482 1876-S AU55 NGC. Bold lemon-gold and lighter straw colors
converge on this still-lustrous Choice AU coin. Great eye appeal
for the grade assigned and the low-mintage issue. (#7825)
1483 1876-S AU55 PCGS. CAC. An important date in the quarter
eagle series, the 1876-S had an original mintage of just 5,000 coins,
and survivors are elusive in all grades. This Choice AU piece has
lustrous light yellow surfaces with a few trivial surface marks as
expected. Population: 14 in 55, 29 finer (1/10).(#7825)
Infrequently Seen MS62 1877 Quarter Eagle
1484 1877 MS62 NGC. Most 1877 quarter eagles appearing at auction
are in the XF to AU grade range. Mint State examples, such as
this MS62, are infrequently seen. Brass-gold surfaces have partially
prooflike fields that offer a degree of variance with the sharply
struck design features. Some minor surface and rim marks keep
from a finer grade. Census: 8 in 62, 8 finer (1/10). (#7826)

Popular 1877 Select Quarter Eagle
1485 1877 MS63 NGC. The 1877 quarter eagle has one of the lowest
mintages of the series (1,632 business strikes) and is consequently
popular and in high demand. Apricot-gold and mint-green patina
runs over both sides of this Select specimen, each of which displays
some prooflike tendencies. This sharply struck piece reveals just
a few minor handling marks. Census: 5 in 63, 3 finer (12/09).
(#7826)
Near-Mint 1881 Quarter Eagle
One of 640 Business Strikes
1486 1881 AU58 NGC. With a business strike mintage of just 640
pieces, the 1881 quarter eagle is one of several near-legendary
Philadelphia issues in the later half of the long-running Liberty
quarter eagle series. This sharply struck, moderately reflective
example is scarcely worn, though the blue-accented yellow-gold
fields show a number of abrasions. Census: 18 in 58, 15 finer (1/10).
(#7833)
Low-Mintage 1886 Quarter Eagle, MS63
1487 1886 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Sharply struck with fresh yellow-gold
luster. Though this Select coin shows light, scattered abrasions
on both obverse and reverse, it offers high eye appeal for its low-
mintage issue of only 4,000 business strikes. Housed in a green label
holder. Population: 13 in 63, 5 finer (12/09). (#7838)
Shining Gem 1890 Quarter Eagle
1488 1890 MS65 PCGS. Distinctly reflective sun-yellow fields yield
to paler straw-gold devices, which are well-defined but not sharp
in the manner of a true proof. Only a few small, shallow faults are
visible in the fields, most noticeably a graze in the field just below
Liberty’s chin. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 3 in 65,
1 finer (1/10). (#7842)
Challenging 1894 Quarter Eagle, MS64
1489 1894 MS64 PCGS. Just 4,000 coins were minted, although few of
them actually circulation, so the typical survivor is a lower grade
Mint State piece. This one has rich yellow luster and sharp details
with reflective fields, especially on the reverse. Population: 20 in
64, 20 finer (1/10). (#7846)
Near-Gem 1894 Quarter Eagle
1490 1894 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1894 quarter eagle is a popular
issue owing to its low mintage of 4,000 circulation strikes. Dazzling
luster emanates from the yellow-gold surfaces of this near-Gem and
an exacting strike delivers strong definition to the design elements.
A few minute marks preclude Gem status. Population: 20 in 64, 20
finer (1/10). (#7846)
1491 1896 MS65 NGC. This frosty Gem has brilliant and highly
lustrous yellow surfaces with sharp design motifs. Like most late
19th century quarter eagles, the 1896 is a low mintage date with a
higher survival rate, although Gem or finer pieces are hard to find.
Census: 56 in 65, 32 finer (1/10). (#7848)
Magnificent 1897 Gem Quarter Eagle
1492 1897 MS65 PCGS. This Gem is beautifully toned in variegated
mint-green, orange-gold, and lilac. Its surfaces radiate stunning
luster, and both sides yield modest field-motif variance. This is
an exquisitely struck piece that is impeccably preserved. Housed
in a green label holder. Population: 70 in 65, 32 finer (1/10).
(#7849)
Gorgeous MS66 1899 Quarter Eagle
1493 1899 MS66 NGC. CAC. A strongly struck Premium Gem with
satiny, swirling luster, light yellow-gold with lemon overtones.
The surfaces are exquisitely preserved, smooth delights. Great
preservation and eye appeal for this lower-mintage turn-of-the-
century issue. NGC has certified just five numerically finer pieces
(1/10). (#7851)
PROOF LIBERTY QUARTER EAGLES
Lovely 1883 Quarter Eagle, PR66 Cameo
1494 1883 PR66 Cameo NGC. CAC. This is only the 10th auction
appearance of a proof 1883 quarter eagle in any of our sales since
1993, and those 10 appearances include nine different coins. It
is believed today that about 30 proofs survive from the original
82-coin mintage, most in lower grades. This piece is tied for the
finest Cameo proof certified, with three Proof 66 Ultra Cameo
coins and two Proof 67 Ultra Cameo pieces. We believe this piece
is at the low end of the Condition Census for the proof issue. It is
fully and deeply mirrored with exceptional contrast between the
mirrors and the fields. Both sides are pristine, with blemish-free
surfaces. (#87909)
Cameo PR64 1900 Quarter Eagle
1495 1900 PR64 Cameo PCGS. A boldly contrasted specimen of this
turn-of-the-century issue, prominently mirrored with pale golden
frost enveloping the exquisitely detailed devices. This charming
miniature shows a few minor hairlines and points of contact,
including a flaw just above star 13 on the obverse, but the eye
appeal is strong for the grade. Population: 5 in 64 Cameo, 4 finer
(12/09). (#87926)

Sensational 1900 Quarter Eagle
PR68 Ultra Cameo
1496 1900 PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. With a mintage of 205 proofs,
the 1900 quarter eagle has the second highest proof mintage of all
Liberty quarter eagles behind the 223 pieces struck the following
year. As such, the 1900 makes a great type coin for the design
enthusiast. While the NGC Census Report shows eight coins
similarly graded, with three finer PR69 Ultra Cameo examples
(1/10), it is difficult to imagine such a quantity of different coins in
these lofty grades. This Superb Gem exhibits a high degree of mint
brilliance with bright yellow surfaces, incredible mirrored fields,
and highly lustrous devices. (#97926)
Desirable 1901 Quarter Eagle
PR64 Ultra Cameo
1497 1901 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC. A stunning and boldly defined
Ultra Cameo proof quarter eagle, this piece has frosty and fully
brilliant yellow devices with mirrored fields of unlimited depth.
Both sides exhibit a few minuscule contact marks that prevent a
higher grade. Otherwise, this pristine piece would rank as one of
the best examples available for the date, or for the type.
The mintage of 223 proof quarter eagles in 1901 was the highest
for the entire design, and that suggests the importance of this piece
as a type coin for the 20th century design collector, as it represents
the first year of the new century, according to some. Census: 7 in 64
Ultra Cameo, 28 finer (1/10). (#97927)

INDIAN QUARTER EAGLES
1498 1908 MS64 NGC. This first-year Indian quarter eagle has strongly
shining yellow-gold surfaces. Well struck for the issue with few
abrasions of any significance.
From The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two. (#7939)
1499 1908 MS64 PCGS. Apricot-gold surfaces are imbued with traces
of mint-green. Well struck, save for the often-seen softness on the
eagle’s shoulder. Trivial marks prevent Gem status.(#7939)
Beautiful 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle, MS66
1500 1908 MS66 PCGS. Only a few Indian quarter eagles can match
the quality of this piece, regardless of the date, and the first-year
of issue status adds considerable desirability to this specimen. It
is sharply struck including the headdress, stars, and hair on the
obverse, and the eagle’s feathers on the reverse. Only the top of
the forewing is indistinct, but that is true of every example of
the 1908 that we have seen. The surfaces are fully brilliant with
bright yellow luster and full mint frost. A trace of light rose toning
adds to its aesthetic appeal. Population: 87 in 66, 2 finer (1/10).
(#7939)
Lustrous Gem 1909 Quarter Eagle
1503 1909 MS65 PCGS. The various Indian quarter eagle and half
eagle issues are notoriously elusive in better Mint State grades,
and for the 1909 quarter eagle, anything finer than this Gem is a
condition rarity. Orange-infused wheat-gold surfaces are remarkably
smooth with uncommonly strong luster. Well struck with a single
mark noted on the jawline. (#7940)
Bold Gem 1909 Two and a Half
Impressive MS66 1908 Quarter Eagle
1501 1908 MS66 NGC. CAC. A fantastic Premium Gem representative
of this first-year Indian quarter eagle issue, which is available for a
price even in MS65 but scarce any better. The strike is remarkably
sharp, and gorgeous satin luster enlivens the carefully preserved
butter-yellow surfaces. A memorable coin. NGC has certified a
mere three numerically finer pieces (12/09). (#7939)
1502 1909 MS63 NGC. Impressive mustard and butter shadings
dominate the eye appeal of this softly lustrous Indian quarter eagle.
Neither side shows any individually significant abrasions.
From The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two. (#7940)
1504 1909 MS65 NGC. With just 19 numerically finer pieces known
to NGC (1/10), any 1909 quarter eagle in higher grade than the
present Gem example is conditionally rare. Bold sun-gold surfaces
show both orange and emerald glints, the latter mostly in an arc
above the eagle’s bonnet. Strong overall detail and excellent
preservation, as demanded of the grade. (#7940)
1505 1910 MS63 NGC. Luminous butter-yellow surfaces host well
struck devices. An attractive Select example of this popular Indian
quarter eagle issue.
From The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two. (#7941)
Bright MS64 1910 Two and a Half
1506 1910 MS64 NGC. This is an excellent coin for type purposes.
Satiny mint luster rolls over the granular texture. Overall the
coin is bright and mostly yellow-gold, with just a hint of pale rose
present. Only a few grade-limiting abrasions appear under a loupe,
on the right side of the reverse. Sharply struck.

Wonderful MS64 1910 Two and a Half
Popular MS62 1911-D Quarter Eagle
1513 1911-D MS62 NGC. An impressive strike leaves strong definition
on the design features of this key date quarter eagle, including the
headdress feathers and mintmark. Only the eagle’s shoulder feathers
are a tad soft. Brass-gold coloration covers both sides. A small hit
in the lower obverse field and a couple of more in the reverse field
limit the grade. (#7943)
MS62 1911-D Quarter Eagle
Well Struck 1911-D Quarter Eagle, MS62
1510 1911-D AU58 NGC. An appealing near-Mint example of this
perennially popular Indian quarter eagle issue, strongly lustrous
despite mild friction on the high points. Pale yellow-gold surfaces
have an orange cast near the rims and occasional pink highlights.
Practically Mint State quality at a fraction of the price.
From The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two. (#7943)
1507 1910 MS64 NGC. Bold lemon-yellow luster defines the centers,
while deeper butter and even orange hues occupy parts of the rims.
This near-Gem is solidly struck, though the lowest pendant on the
necklace shows a degree of softness, and the visual appeal is top-
notch. Only a few wispy marks preclude an even finer designation.
(#7941)
1508 1911 MS64 NGC. Boldly defined, particularly on the Indian’s
necklace, with uncommonly strong yellow-gold luster that takes on
lemony hues at parts of the margins. A near-Gem with noteworthy
eye appeal.
From The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two. (#7942)
Entry Level 1911-D Quarter Eagle, AU Details
1511 1911-D MS62 NGC. In his 1975 volume U.S. Quarter Eagles
1796-1929, David Akers commented:
“As an issue, the 1911-D is the rarest and most famous of
the series and its fame actually extends to the whole of the
Numismatic Community, an unusual occurrence for a Gold
coin. This coin is probably scarce in any grade but all avail¬
able evidence tends to confirm the thesis that the 1911-D
was actively saved within 15 years of issuance.”
By the author’s logic, then, collectors recognized the rarity of
the issue even before the series was through. More than 80 years
after the end of the denomination, 1911-D quarter eagles such as
the present piece continue to attract collectors of this short-lived,
completable series. For the MS62 grade, this coin offers strong
visual appeal, thanks to a bold strike and bright lemon-yellow
luster. Small, scattered abrasions and a shallow scrape at the far
right edge of the headdress contribute to the grade. (#7943)
1509 1911-D—Obverse Rim Filed — NGC. AU Details. The obverse
rim filing is visible clockwise from 5 o’clock to 10 o’clock. Both sides
have stippled surfaces with green-gold color and traces of luster.
The D mintmark is boldly evident, even without magnification. A
suitable example for the budget-minded collector. (#7943)
Near-Mint 1911-D Quarter Eagle
1512 1911-D MS62 NGC. The 100 employees of the Denver Mint
in 1911 found their work pulled in many different directions,
from double eagles that were in high demand to Lincoln cents
that were never previously coined at that facility. Throughout
the year, the Denver Mint produced 28,841,000 coins of all
denominations. According to the Mint Director’s Report, there
were 16 employees in the coiner’s department, meaning that each
employee was responsible for 1.5 million coins during the year.
Only 55,680 pieces, a tiny fraction of just one employee’s
allotment, were quarter eagles, which has cemented the 1911-D
issue’s key status. This strongly yellow-gold example shows wheat
and straw accents. Overall definition is strong, and the surfaces are
minimally abraded for the grade assigned. Solid eye appeal.

Rarely Seen MS65 1911-D Quarter Eagle
1514 1911-D MS65 NGC. The late Paul M. Green turned his
attention to the 1911-D quarter eagle in his “Item of the
Week” column for the Numismatic News dated September 17,
1996. He begins with a simple assertion: “Key-date gold coins
are often overlooked and underpriced.” He continues by noting
that while the various copper and silver series, particularly more
modern ones, are accessible to a broad range of collectors, gold
coinage demands a substantial budget. Green does highlight the
Indian quarter eagle series, however, as a potential exception. It
is short, and in his words, “supplies of all dates from the Indian
Head quarter eagles ... are ample with the exception of one.”
Then this:
“In all cases the single exception is the 1911-D. The 1911-
D had a total mintage of 55,680 pieces, making it far and
away the lowest production date of that type. It had not
become any more common over the years. It always has,
and always will be the key date in the Indian Head quarter
eagle set. Its prices routinely run four or five times higher
than the prices of common dates. None question that it is
the key date to the set and worth the price.”
The intervening years have widened the gap between
the 1911-D quarter eagle and its peers, validating Green’s
assertions from 1996. The 1911-D is rarely encountered in
Gem condition, in large part because of the way these coins
were designed. The sunken relief places the fields as the high
points, and extreme care had to be taken so they were not
abraded. This is a truly impressive example that shows clear
fields, the only exception being a short diagonal mark on the
reverse above and to the left of the motto. Light, even reddish
color is seen over each side. The diagnostic partial wire rim is
easily seen on the right side of the obverse. The striking details
are sharp, but not quite fully brought up on the lowest feather
in the headdress. Census: 71 in 65, 2 finer (1/10). (#7943)

Solid 1912 Quarter Eagle, MS64
1515 1912 MS64 NGC. The 1912 quarter eagle is common in the
lower Mint State grades but becomes more difficult in near-Gem.
Gems are quite challenging and higher-grade coins are elusive.
The lustrous honey-gold surfaces of this MS64 example exhibit
well struck devices. Light marks on the raised, exposed fields of the
reverse preclude Gem status.
From The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two. (#7944)
1516 1913 MS64 NGC. Peach-gold lustrous surfaces exhibit well
struck design elements, including the eagle’s shoulder feathers.
Some inoffensive marks preclude Gem status. Scarce any finer.
(#7945)
Important Gem 1913 Quarter Eagle
1517 1913 MS65 PCGS. Though the 1913 quarter eagle is readily
available in grades through Choice Mint State, MS65 coins are
scarce, and anything finer is a condition rarity. This Gem example
is delightfully lustrous with bold orange-gold color and hints of
rose at the margins. A handful of long, thin abrasions are noted in
the fields to the left of the portrait. Housed in a green label holder.
(#7945)
Elusive 1914 Quarter Eagle, MS63
1518 1914 MS63 NGC. The 1914 quarter eagle is a conditionally scarce
issue from a mintage that was limited to just 240,000 coins. Enough
examples survive in low and middle Mint State grades that most any
collector can obtain one with a little patience. This ideal example
provides an excellent combination of grade and value. Both sides are
sharply defined, with satiny yellow luster and excellent eye appeal.
From The Alfred V. Melson Collection, Part Two. (#7946)
Luminous MS64 1914 Quarter Eagle
1519 1914 MS64 NGC. Rich gold-orange luster is at once satiny and
potent, gracing a boldly impressed near-Gem. With just 240,000
pieces struck, the 1914 has gained considerable fame as the Indian
quarter eagle issue with the second-lowest mintage, behind only
the notorious 1911-D. NGC has graded 42 finer pieces (1/10).
(#7946)
1520 1915 MS64 PCGS. The 1915 quarter eagle is available through
the near-Gem level before becoming moderately challenging in
MS65. Rich apricot-gold patina resides on the lustrous surfaces of
this attractive MS64, and an exacting strike leaves strong detail
on the design motifs. Neither side reveals mentionable marks.
(#7948)
1521 1925-D MS64 NGC. Brassy-gold luster invigorates this sharply
struck D-mint near-Gem. Light handling marks in the raised,
exposed fields define the grade. (#7949)
Brilliant 1925-D Quarter Eagle, MS65
1522 1925-D MS65 NGC. CAC. Highly lustrous and frosty with
brilliant yellow-gold surfaces and bold design definition on both
sides. This amazing piece is just shy of top honors for the date,
as NGC has only certified 42 finer examples (1/10). This is the
most available of the three Denver Mint Indian quarter eagles.
(#7949)
Well Struck 1925-D Quarter Eagle, MS65
1523 1925-D MS65 NGC. CAC. Inspection of NGC/PCGS population
figures indicates that the 1925-D is readily available through the
near-Gem level. Gems can be located without too much difficulty,
but anything finer is elusive. Lustrous peach-gold surfaces exhibit
well struck motifs and reveal just a few minor grade-consistent
marks. (#7949)

Condition Census 1925-D Quarter Eagle
MS66 ★, One of Two at NGC
1524 1925-D MS66 ★ NGC. The 1925-D quarter eagle is the last of
only three D-mint Indian Head quarter eagles issues produced
at irregular intervals during the series’ run. The Denver Mint
made quarter eagles, but no half eagles during 1925, making
the issue even more interesting as half eagle production figures
throughout U.S. numismatic history are generally much higher.
The aberrant issue must have been recognized at the time, as
clearly many examples were saved. The issue was a generous (for
the series) 578,000 coins, amidst the Roaring Twenties and before
the great stock market crash of four years later.
Today the issue is available up through the MS66 level,
although only a single MS67 NGC piece has been graded finer.
The current MS66 ★ example is one of only two so certified at
NGC (1/10). PCGS has never certified an example finer than
MS66. The surfaces are interesting, with contrasting obverse and
reverse. The obverse is frosted, yet the reverse shows die striations
in the upper right field and is consequently brighter there. The
surfaces are deep reddish-gold overall, with pale hints of lilac on
the reverse. The strike is sharp but not full, lacking full definition
on the lowest headdress feather. (#7949)
Amazing 1926 Indian Quarter Eagle, MS66
1525 1926 MS66 PCGS. All of the Indian quarter eagles from the 1920s
are considered common dates, but none are common in Premium
Gem preservation. Consider almost 96,000 Indian quarter eagles
of all dates that are PCGS certified, with only 230 of those coins
graded MS66 or MS67. That is one Premium Gem for every 417
pieces certified. This piece has wonderful brilliant yellow surfaces
with frosty luster and exceptional eye appeal. The strike is bold
throughout, with only a few tiny marks and spots that prevent an
even higher certified grade. Population: 38 in 66, 0 finer (1/10).
(#7950)
Attractively Patinated 1927 Gem Quarter Eagle
1526 1927 MS65 NGC. CAC. The 1927 quarter eagle is available in
any grade from MS65 and below; finer examples are highly elusive.
A medley of apricot-gold, apple-green, and rose patination resides
on the lustrous surfaces of the present Gem offering. Well cared for
surfaces exhibit crisply struck design motifs. (#7951)
1527 1928 MS64 NGC. Sharp definition for this later issue with bright
yellow-gold luster. This near-Gem Indian quarter eagle is housed in
a prior-generation holder. (#7952)

Frosty 1928 Indian Quarter Eagle, MS65
1528 1928 MS65 NGC. An extraordinary Gem, and approaching the
finest available quality for the date or for any Indian quarter eagle.
NGC has only certified 14 finer examples of the date, and only
230 finer examples of the entire series. This Gem has gorgeous rose
toning over frosty yellow-gold luster with bold details and excellent
surfaces. (#7952)
THREE DOLLAR GOLD PIECES
1529 1854 AU53 PCGS. Luster fills the legends and outlines the
wreath of the present first-year honey-gold type coin. Unimportant
contact is present, but no marks are of singular consequence.
Certified in a green label holder. (#7969)
1530 1854 AU55 PCGS. Bright orange luster fills the design recesses
of this attractive and originally toned three dollar gold piece. No
marks are worthy of comment. Encased in a green label holder.
(#7969)
Appealing Select 1854 Three Dollar
1531 1854 MS63 NGC. As a Select example of the unusual and popular
three dollar gold denomination, this first-year representative is
automatically in high demand. The present piece blends prominent
apricot and peach shadings in a swirl of luster, offering a sharp
strike and excellent eye appeal for the grade. (#7969)
Shining MS64 1854 Three Dollar
1532 1854 MS64 PCGS. Deep reddish-gold patina graces each side,
with wonderful luster emanating from the surfaces. The strike is
boldly executed, even on the often-weak bowknot, and neither
side reveals much in the way of ticks or abrasions, even under
a loupe. The 1854 is usually grouped with the 1874 and 1878
issues for “type” purposes, though with the small ONE DOLLAR
denomination it is technically a one-year subtype. PCGS has
graded 26 finer pieces (1/10). (#7969)
1533 1855 AU58 NGC. Strong yellow-gold luster persists despite
friction on the high points. Occasional greenish accents visit
minimally abraded surfaces. An appealing near-Mint representative
of this second-year odd-denomination issue. (#7972)
Lustrous 1856 Three Dollar, MS64
1534 1856 MS64 PCGS. Circulated 1856 three dollar gold pieces are
easily enough found, including high-end About Uncirculated
specimens. Uncirculated examples become difficult to locate,
especially at the Gem level. Indeed, near-Gems are the finest grade
collectors are likely to encounter.
The greenish-gold surfaces of this MS64 piece exhibit pleasing
luster emanating from a satinlike finish, and a relatively strong
impression characterizes the design elements, except for weakness
in the bowknot. Occasional minute obverse marks deny Gem
classification. Population: 34 in 64, 2 finer (12/09). (#7974)
1535 1857-S—Removed From Jewelry, Bent—NGC. XF Details.
The reverse border is tooled between 9 and 1 o’clock, and also
between 4 and 7 o’clock, to remove evidence of mounts where the
piece was once affixed to jewelry. The right obverse field is lightly
polished, and a slight bend is evident when the piece is rotated.
(#7977)
1536 1861 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests
Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that
PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has
the details of an AU specimen that is scratched and has obverse
damage. The obverse has faint scratches on the upper left field and
through the top of the bust tip. The open obverse field may have
been thumbed in order to reduce the visual impact of abrasions.

1537 1874 AU55 NGC. A lightly worn yet strongly lustrous example
of this popular odchdenomination type issue. Generally yellow-
gold surfaces show a distinct patch of violet between STATES
and OF on the obverse, a color echoed within the reverse wreath.
(#7998)
1538 1877—Mount Removed, Polished—NCS. XF Details.
Inordinately bright and glossy from polishing. No evidence of
a removed mount is readily evident. Still desirable due to a low
mintage of 1,468 pieces. Unlike later date scarcities such as the
1882, few if any examples were set aside by Philadelphia-area
dealers at the time of issue. (#7999)
1539 1878—Reverse Scratched—UNC NCS. UNC Details. The
reverse has a single light scratch from the left border across the
wreath to the large 3. Otherwise, both sides have excellently
preserved surfaces approaching a Choice Mint State grade level.
(#8000)
Popular 1878 Three Dollar, MS61
1540 1878 MS61 NGC. Strong yellow-gold luster offers elements of
peach and honey. The strike is pleasing, if not strictly perfect, and
while a handful of light to moderate abrasions appear in the portrait
area, the overall eye appeal is far superior to what the grade might
suggest. An intriguing choice for the type collector. (#8000)
Gorgeous MS64 1878 Three Dollar
1541 1878 MS64 PCGS. The bold and swirling luster that graces
the best three dollar gold pieces is in full force on this near-Gem
from the last high-mintage issue of the denomination. The strike
is strong, and few marks are visible on the yellow-gold surfaces.
A single small alloy spot is noted near the tip of Liberty’s nose.
(#8000)
Appealing MS64 1878 Three Dollar Gold
1542 1878 MS64 NGC. The honey-gold obverse offers wonderful,
swirling luster, while the reverse has brighter yellow-gold color and
displays mildly prooflike tendencies. An excellent strike boosts the
eye appeal of this near-Gem, which shows no singularly distracting
abrasions. A great coin for the type enthusiast. (#8000)
Dazzling 1888 Three Dollar, MS63
1543 1888 MS63 PCGS. Dazzling luster emanates from the yellow-gold
and greenish-gray surfaces of this Select three dollar and a well
directed strike leaves strong definition on the design elements.
Despite the minor handling marks that limit the grade, both sides
yield pleasing eye appeal. This will be an excellent selection for a
high grade type collection. (#8010)
Sharp 1888 Three Dollar, MS64
1544 1888 MS64 PCGS. The 1888 three dollar is one of the most
available dates in the series due to hoarding, despite its low mintage
of 5,000 circulation strikes. Variegated mint-green and apricot
patination enlivens the lustrous, minimally marked surfaces of this
near-Gem. Sharply struck except for minor softness in the leaf left
of the bowknot. (#8010)
1545 1889 AU53 PCGS. Muted green-gold surfaces have accents of
light rose toning on each side. This is a splendid example of the
final three-dollar gold piece. Most survivors are actually in higher
grades, making this a rather unusual situation. (#8011)

EARLY HALF EAGLES
Extremely Rare BD-7 1795
Small Eagle Five Dollar, AU53
1546 1795 Small Eagle AU53 PCGS. Breen-6415, BD-7, R.7.
This extremely rare variety pairs an obverse die with recutting
on the 5 on the date and a reverse with four berries on the
small wreath, two on each side of the beak, one inside and one
outside. Though distinctly rubbed at Liberty’s nose and the
eagle’s breast, this yellow-gold example remains remarkably
lustrous, with mildly prooflike elements at the peripheral
protected areas. Solid central detail with numerous small but
individually inoffensive marks that are consistent with both
brief circulation and the grade assigned. (#8066)

Historic Mint State 1795 Half Eagle
Small Eagle Reverse, BD-1
1547 1795 Small Eagle MS60 NGC. BD-1, R.5. Two major design
types are known for the half eagles with a 1795 date. This
Small Eagle design was actually produced in 1795, whereas
the Large or Heraldic Eagle design was backdated, and actually
coined in 1798. There are 12 individual die varieties of the
Small Eagle type, representing the earliest gold coins produced
at the Philadelphia Mint. These 12 varieties were produced
through various combinations of eight obverse dies and nine
reverse dies.
When Walter Breen studied these coins in the 1960s, he
assigned numbers 1 through 4 and letters A through D to the
four obverse and reverse dies that he believed were first used by
the Mint. Adjustments have been made to his sequence, and
today, the Bass-Dannreuther reference notes that this was the
very first half eagle variety produced in 1795, thus it is possibly
the first U.S. gold coinage variety. On July 31, 1795, the
chief coiner of the Mint delivered 744 half eagles to the Mint
treasurer, and this example was probably among those pieces.
Minor die cracks and die rust on both sides suggest that this is a
later die state of the variety.
The surfaces are pleasing with attractive green-gold
coloration. A minor scratch from Liberty’s neck crosses the
left obverse field to star 5, and this is the only readily apparent
imperfection, aside from the usual abrasions that exist on nearly
every known example. There is no trace of wear on either side,
and the fields exhibit a slightly reflective appearance. This is
a lovely example, and an extremely important opportunity for
the half eagle specialist or the collector of historic coinage.

1799 Small Stars Reverse Half Eagle
BD-1, AU50
1548 1799 Small Stars Reverse AU50 NGC. CAC. Breen-6433,
BD-1, High R.5. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/c, with the faintest
beginnings of a die crack through the bottoms of stars 11 and
12. Like all other die pairs of the 1799 half eagle, the BD-1 is
rare in an absolute sense. The winning bidder is sure to prize this
AU50 example. The yellow-gold surfaces remain amply lustrous,
with surprisingly few abrasions for the grade assigned. Only slight
striking softness is present through the centers, though this makes
the reverse appear perhaps more worn than it really is. Overall, a
thoroughly appealing coin.
From The South Texas Collection. (#8081)
Near-Mint BD-4 1800 Half Eagle
1549 1800 AU58 PCGS. Breen-6439, BD-4, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die
State d/b, with clash marks on both obverse and reverse, but not the
die cud at the lower left reverse indicating that side’s terminal state.
Bass and Dannreuther note about the reverse, which was only used
once: “The obviously recut M makes this one of the easiest varieties
to identify.” As an AU58 example, this coin must rank highly among
known survivors, though a number of Mint State examples of the
issue appear in the combined certified population. Radiant yellow-
gold surfaces show only scant evidence of abrasions and friction.
All things considered, a strongly appealing early half eagle.

1802/1 ‘High Overdate ’ Half Eagle
Rare BD-7 Die Pair, AU58
1550 1802/1 AU58 PCGS. Breen-6440, BD-7, R.5. Bass-Dannreuther
Die State b-c/a-b, intriguingly with both obverse and reverse in
transition. The obverse has the crack from star 5 to the rim but not
the one at star 3; similarly, the reverse shows a faint crack through
the last three letters of UNITED but not the one from the arrows
through the shield. Luminous orange-gold fields are cut with butter-
yellow, creating an intriguing and eye-appealing combination. Well
struck and minimally abraded, with only modest wear on the high
points to preclude a Mint State designation. (#8083)
1552 1804 Small 8 MS61 NGC. Breen-6443, BD-2, High R.4. Bass-
Dannreuther Die State d/f, with die crack through the top of the
TY in LIBERTY in addition to the prominent north-to-south
bisecting die crack on the obverse. This example has excellent
luster characteristics with light canary-yellow color overall that
occasionally takes a sun-gold hue. Well-defined for the die state,
though constant relapping has robbed the devices of some of their
detail. Shallow pinscratches are noted on and to the left of the portrait.

BD-3 1803/2 Half Eagle, AU55
1551 1803/2 AU55 PCGS. Breen-6441, BD-3, R.4. Recutting on the

surfaces of this Choice AU coin show both age and luster, the
latter scarcely dimmed by the modest amount of rub across the high
points. Small and scattered marks contribute to the grade.

Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars, BD-6

variety of any date with a 7x6 star arrangement, which crowds the
left obverse border. Ample luster shimmers from the design of this
early half eagle. Rose-red borders encompass butter-gold centers.
The reverse is problem-free aside from a slightly soft central
strike, while the reverse is attractive but has a few thin marks,
including one above the ear. Certified in a prior generation holder.

Die State a/c, a combination unlisted in the reference but a logical
transition point; the obverse does not show the edge-to-lowest-
curls die crack needed for Obverse State b, though the curls are
thinned, while the reverse shows the die crack through the N in
UNITED to the arrowheads that corresponds with Reverse State
c. This surprisingly radiant yellow-gold example offers strong eye

Wide Denomination, BD-4

from its previous appearance, paired with a new reverse with a wide
space between the 5 and the D in the denomination. Bass and
Dannreuther note in Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, “This variety
is the first early gold coin that seems to have a single die state for
both dies for the entire production run.” Whether struck early or
late, this Choice AU example offers rich gold-orange luster and a
solid strike. Marks are few, save for a small cluster of abrasions to
the left of Liberty’s lips.

This well struck Mint State early five dollar piece has peach-red
toning throughout the borders, which along with the devices are
illuminated by vivacious luster. The few delicate field marks are of
no concern. An impressive example of a scarce gold type. BD-4 is
the sole Wide 5D variety among the four 1808-dated die pairings,
which are further divided into two normal date and two 1808/7
marriages. The overdate is considered rarer, particularly BD-1,
whose production run was apparently limited by a prominent

the most frequently seen combination of the two diagnostic aspects
for the year, with both large date and large 5 in the denomination.
This shining near-Gem is a delightful representative for the type

Only a few light scuffs and abrasions in the portrait area preclude
an even better designation. NGC has certified seven numerically

the recesses of the high relief bust during the strike. (#8171)
Series Key Crosslet 4 1834 Classic Five, AU53
1568 1834 Crosslet 4 AU53 NGC. Second Head, Breen-6503,
McCloskey 5-D, R.4. The Plain 4 variety is commonplace compared
to the Crosslet 4, which is a seldom-seen and eagerly pursued Guide
Book entry. This apricot-gold example has its share of glistening
luster, and the scattered small field marks are of little importance.
Census: 4 in 53, 32 finer (12/09). (#8172)
1569 1836 AU55 PCGS. Second Head, Large Date, Breen-6509,
McCloskey 2-B, R.4. A scarce die marriage distinguished by
a prominent vertical die crack that nearly bisects the obverse
between 12:30 and 5:30. Splendidly detailed and partly lustrous.
One thin obverse mark is noted at 10:30.(#8174)
Enthralling 1836 Classic Five Dollar, MS62
1570 1836 MS62 PCGS. Third Head, Breen-6510, McCloskey 3-C,
R.2. A lovely butter-gold type representative that has an excellent
strike and impressively unabraded surfaces. Bright luster dominates
the legends and devices. The only marriage for this obverse
die, identified by repunching on the peak of the 1 in the date.
Population: 39 in 62, 29 finer (1/10). (#8174)
1571 1837 AU53 NGC. McCloskey 2-B. This is the only common
variety of the year, although 1837 is scarcer than the earlier dates
in the series. This piece has attractive lemon-yellow surfaces with
minor grade-consistent marks.(#8175)
1572 1840 Narrow Mill AU58 NGC. Immensely lustrous with deep
orange-gold surfaces. The strike is crisp, and only modest friction
precludes a Mint State designation. Census: 64 in 58, 25 finer
(12/09).(#8194)
Rare 1842-C Small Date Five Dollar, XF40
1573 1842-C Small Date XF40 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1. One of the
rarest coins from the Charlotte Mint and much more difficult
to find than its Large Date cousin. Yellow-gold surfaces are
accented with greenish-gray and reddish-gold patina and exhibit
appropriately defined design elements. Distributed minute marks
do not detract. Population: 9 in 40, 18 finer (1/10). (#8208)
Challenging 1842-D Large Date Five, AU50
1574 1842-D Large Date AU50 PCGS. Variety 9-G. This radiant
apricot-gold Dahlonega half eagle is lustrous for the designated
grade and shows only slight wear on the plumage and on Liberty’s
curls, eyebrow, and shoulder. The fields display minor marks, mostly
clustered near star 13. The Large Date variety is substantially
scarcer than the Small Date. Population: 5 in 50, 14 finer (1/10).
(#8211)
Elusive 1843 Liberty Five, MS62
1575 1843 MS62 NGC. In both circulated and lower Mint State
grades, the 1843 (611,205 pieces produced) is the most common
Liberty Half Eagle from the 1840s after the 1847. Of course, we use
the term “common” in a relative sense, as Uncirculated survivors
of all early Liberty fives are rare when viewed in the wider context
of U.S. numismatics. Satiny in finish, the luster quality is quite
pleasing for the grade. Both sides are orange-gold, with scattered
light and moderate abrasions seeming to account for the MS62
assessment. Crisply impressed throughout. Census: 15 in 62, 23
finer (1/10). (#8213)

Impressive MS63 1844 Half Eagle
1576 1844 MS63 NGC. A remarkable Mint State representative of
this pre-California Gold Rush half eagle issue. The devices are
sharply struck, and effervescent yellow-gold luster enlivens each
side. Though a few small marks and wispy abrasions preclude a
numerically finer designation, this coin’s eye appeal is impossible to
ignore. Census: 12 in 63, 0 finer (12/09). (#8219)
Select 1844-0 Five Dollar
1577 1844-0 MS63 NGC. Garrett and Guth note: “The 1844-0
half eagle has one of the highest mintages of any New Orleans
gold coin, second only to the 1847-0 eagle.” That enormous
production did not translate into wide availability in Mint State
grades, however; the authors term the issue “quite rare” at that
level, stating: “Relatively few coins were saved from this high-
mintage issue.” This Select example has characteristically sharp
definition on the portrait and strong yellow-gold luster. Scattered
wispy abrasions are present on the mildly mirrored fields, yet the
visual appeal is strong for the grade assigned. Census: 11 in 63, 6
finer (12/09). (#8222)
1578 1845-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. Variety 12-1.
This is the usually seen variety for the year. The surfaces have
muted yellow luster with myriad surface marks and other blemishes,
reminiscent of the so-called “salt water” pieces. The design motifs
show excellent definition.(#8224)
Choice XF 1846-C Half Eagle
1579 1846-C XF45 NGC. Variety 1. An appealing Choice XF
representative of this 1840s Charlotte half eagle issue, struck from
a single die pair. Pale yellow-gold surfaces remain subtly lustrous
despite light overall wear and abrasions. A measure of more
significant rub is found on Liberty’s brow and through the eagle’s
central feathers. Census: 10 in 45, 43 finer (12/09). (#8227)
Scarce 1846-C Half Eagle, AU53
1580 1846-C AU53 NGC. Variety 1, the only known die pair for the
limited mintage of just 12,995 coins. This piece has deep green-
gold surfaces with traces of orange toning. The fields are satiny
with noticeable luster and the design definition is well above
average. Census: 10 in 53, 28 finer (1/10). (#8227)
1581 1846-D/D AU50 PCGS. Variety 15-J. The repunched mintmark
is blatant, the most prominent such variety with the Dahlonega
gold series. This well detailed example has a subtle mint-made
strike-through on the cheek and lightly abraded, luminous straw-
gold fields. (#8229)
Fantastic AU58 1846-D/D Half Eagle
1582 1846-D/D AU58 NGC. The 16-L die combination with broad
void at the top of the 6 and boldly repunched mintmark. Strong
yellow-gold luster gives the fields a moderately prooflike aura, and
the devices exhibit only mild friction on the high points. Truly
Mint State examples with the repunched mintmark are rare; NGC
has graded only nine such pieces (1/10). (#8229)

Session Three, Auction #1137 • Friday, February 5, 2010 • 6:00 PM PT 203
1583 1847-C — Bent — NGC. AU Details. Variety 1. Only a single
die pair is known for this high mintage issue. A total of 84,151
pieces were coined, suggesting the possible existence of at least one
additional variety that is just waiting to be found. This example
has bright green-gold surfaces with excellent design definition. It is
described as bent, but apparently only slightly so.(#8233)
Pleasing AU 1848-D Five Dollar
1584 1848-D AU50 PCGS. Variety 18-M, State III. The reverse is
prominently cracked through the A in STATES and across the tips
of the two uppermost arrowheads. Softly defined at the margins, as
usually seen, but mildly prooflike yellow-gold luster persists in the
fields. Lightly abraded with small depressions on Liberty’s neck, yet
strongly appealing. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 19
in 50, 38 finer (1/10). (#8238)
Almost Uncirculated 1849-D Five Dollar
1585 1849-D AU50 NGC. Variety 22-N. Of the 39,036 pieces struck
for this Dahlonega issue, it is estimated that today only 125-150
coins remain in all grades, the majority of which are VL-XL. This
is a well struck example that has bright yellow-gold color. The
surfaces are peppered with numerous small abrasions, but the only
one worthy of mention is in the obverse field between stars 5 and 6.
(#8242)
Important MS61 1851 Five Dollar
1586 1851 MS61 NGC. Though half eagle mintages skyrocketed as
the California Gold Rush went on, the denomination remained
little-saved, and Mint State examples are scarce today. This MS61
example has effusive yellow-gold luster and a sharp strike, though
a number of small digs and abrasions preclude a finer designation.
Census: 29 in 61, 33 finer (1/10). (#8246)
1587 1851-C—Harshly Cleaned—NGC. XF Details. Variety 1. This
piece has noticeable hairlines on its light green-gold surfaces. Both
sides have the usual surface marks expected at the grade level. Deep
iridescent toning is evident around the borders.(#8247)
1588 1851-C—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. XF Details. Variety 1, and
clearly showing the circular mark on Liberty’s earlobe, as struck.
This piece is lightly cleaned yet has excellent eye appeal created by
the green-gold surfaces and traces of luster. (#8247)
1589 1852-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. XF Details. Variety 27-U.
This is the most common variety of the 1852-D half eagles. Both
sides have light hairlines visible in the fields of this green-gold
representative. (#825 2)
1590 1852-D XF45 NGC. Variety 27-U. The obverse has the date left
of center and the reverse has a vertical die line through the right
side of the final S. This pleasing light yellow-gold example has
excellent surfaces for the grade. Here is an important Dahlonega
gold piece for the date or type collector.(#8252)
Well Impressed 1854 Select Five Dollar
1591 1854 MS63 PCGS. Most 1854 half eagles appear in the XF and
AU grade levels. Mint State coins, when available, are usually in
the lower levels thereof. This MS63’s surfaces possess nearly full
luster and are toned in peach-gold and mint-green, and reveal a
few minute grade-defining marks. The design elements are well
impressed. Population: 8 in 63, 2 finer (1/10). (#8256)
1592 1856-S AU55 PCGS. Medium S. A well struck and still-lustrous
Choice AU coin with bold color and eye appeal. Stark yellow-
gold surfaces show elements of violet alloy at the right reverse.
Population: 26 in 55, 14 finer (12/09).(#8270)
1593 1857-C — Damaged — NGC. XF Details. Variety- 1, the only
known die pair for the 1857-C half eagle. This piece has several
bulges on the obverse, but nothing on the reverse suggests a source.
The surfaces, especially on the reverse, are somewhat rough.
However, traces of luster are present on the obverse, and the strike
is above average.(#8272)
1594 1858 AU58 NGC. CAC. This near-Mint State five dollar retains
luster in the recessed areas of its peach-gold surfaces and exhibits
strong definition on the devices. Distributed small marks are
undisturbing. Census: 15 in 58, 14 finer (1/10).(#8276)
Prized 1864 Half Eagle, AU53
1595 1864 AU53 NGC. This Civil War-era issue of just 4,170
business strikes is conditionally rare at and above the AU53 level
represented by this still-lustrous survivor. Strong striking definition
has withstood the coin’s modest wear, and while the orange-
influenced yellow-gold surfaces show a number of light marks, the
overall eye appeal is remarkable for the designation. Census: 9 in
53, 27 finer (12/09). (#8296)

1599 1871-CC AU55 PCGS. An exceptional example with only a
few peers and a small number of finer pieces in existence. This
Choice AU half eagle has rich yellow-gold luster with traces of
peripheral orange toning. The strike is good and the surfaces are
free of significant blemishes. Nearly full mint luster remains with
only traces of wear on the high points. Although more than 20,000
1871-CC half eagles were minted, most survivors are well-worn,
with an average grade of about VF30. NGC and PCGS have graded
just 19 pieces in AU55 with only 13 finer, including resubmissions.
Population: 9 in 55, 5 finer (1/10). (#8323)
1600 1873-S AU50 NGC. A surprising amount of mint luster
illuminates the borders and devices of this lightly circulated rare
date half eagle. Relatively smooth for the grade and type, since
no marks merit individual mention. All 31,000 pieces struck were
apparently from the Closed 3 date logotype. Census: 16 in 50, 30
finer (12/09).(#8332)
1603 1877-CC—Plugged, Improperly Cleaned—NCS. AU Details.
Holed and plugged with detail reengraved, including star 7 on the
obverse and VE of FIVE on the reverse. The surfaces are bright
yellow with additional imperfections from improper cleaning or
handling. However, the date is an important rarity in the Carson
City half eagle series, and this piece will easily find a happy home.
(#8343)
1604 1877-S AU53 NGC. Peach-gold surfaces are tinted with light
green and are relatively well defined. Light marks are somewhat
more plentiful on the obverse.(#8344)
1597 1868 XF45 PCGS. Yellow-gold surfaces imbued with traces of
light green exhibit well defined design elements. Distributed small
marks are in concert with a coin having seen some circulation.
(#8315)
Notable Near-Mint 1874-S Half Eagle
1602 1874-S AU58 NGC. This is a Condition Census example of
an issue that is, as of this writing, unknown in Mint State grade,
although the present AU58 piece is tied with a bit more than a
dozen pieces at both services combined (1/10). Even in AU the
1874-S half eagle is rare. This piece displays splendid yellow-gold
surfaces with tinges of lilac patina at the obverse rim. A few light
abrasions are characteristic, as is the central strike weakness; the
latter is most notable on the S mintmark, faint yet discernible.
(#8335)
1596
1867-S Fine 12 NGC. Considerable wear is evident on both sides
of this piece, quite expected for an issue that was immediately
placed in circulation in California, while eastern residents were
hoarding the silver and gold coins they encountered. The surfaces
are pleasing for the grade, and overall this is a highly desirable
example. (#8314)
Choice XF 1874-CC Half Eagle
1598 1871-CC Fine 15 NGC. Reddish-gold patina covers the reverse
and visits the obverse margins. Appropriately detailed. Distributed
minute marks are more prevalent on the obverse. One of the
scarcest issues in the series.(#8323)
Lustrous 1871-CC Half Eagle, AU55
1601 1874-CC XF45 NGC. This Choice XF example offers better-than-
expected definition on the reverse, where the degree of wear seems
more consistent with an AU designation. Several pronounced
“spikes,” or heavy die lines, are evident between the eagle’s beak
and the top of the left (facing) wing. The coin has a nice overall
appearance, with mild satiny luster remnants on each side. Census:
26 in 45, 53 finer (12/09). (#8334)

Challenging 1878-CC Half Eagle, AU55
1605 1878-CC AU55 PCGS. All Carson City five dollar issues from
the 1870s are rare, and the 1878-CC is no exception. Gold bullion
depositors preferred payment in double eagles, which were more
convenient for accounting purposes. An absence of Old West
collectors caused most survivors to remain in circulation for many
years. Just one piece has been certified Mint State, which makes an
AU example the finest that most collectors can hope to own. The
present piece has too much friction on the wingtips and eyebrow
to command a higher grade, but luster brightens the borders and
major devices. No marks are remotely consequential. Population: 5
in 55, 5 finer (1/10). (#8346)
1606 1878-S MS62 PCGS. A splendid example of the conditionally
rare 1878-S half eagle, this piece has few peers. It is fully lustrous
with lovely orange-gold coloration, and few marks for the grade.
Quite undervalued in the market place. Population: 33 in 62, 8
finer (1/10).(#8347)
1607 1879-S MS62 NGC. Sharply struck with considerably bright
luster. Pale yellow-gold centers give way to deeper butter hues close
to the rims. Census: 50 in 62, 25 finer (12/09).(#8350)
Conditionally Rare 1880 Gem Five Dollar
1608 1880 MS65 NGC. As might be expected from its high mintage
exceeding 3 million circulation strikes, the 1880 is relatively
common in all grades below near-Gem. The latter is scarce and
Gems are rare. Wheat-gold luster invigorates this sharply struck,
minimally abraded MS65. Census: 24 in 65, 1 finer (1/10).
(#8351)
1609 1880-S MS64 NGC. CAC. Dazzling luster radiates from the
yellow-gold surfaces of this highly attractive near-Gem S-mint half
eagle. Sharply struck and revealing just a few minor handling marks
that preclude Gem status. NGC and PCGS combined have seen
only 18 coins finer (1/10).(#8353)
1610 1880-S MS64 PCGS. Rich peach-gold and lime toning adorns this
thoroughly lustrous, carefully preserved, and precisely struck Choice
Liberty five. A better date at the MS64 level, despite a mintage
of nearly 1.35 million pieces. Certified in a green label holder.
Population: 67 in 64, 1 finer (1/10).(#8353)
1611 1880-S MS64 PCGS. This lustrous Choice half eagle has an
exacting strike and original olive and apricot toning. The reverse
is nearly pristine. Although plentiful in typical Uncirculated
grades, this issue is scarce and underappreciated at the MS64 level.
Population: 67 in 64, 1 finer (1/10).(#8353)
1612 1881/0 MS62 PCGS. CAC. FS-301, formerly FS-005. Only
light magnification is required to see the curve of the 0 beneath
the 1 in the date. The surfaces are uncommonly lustrous for an
MS62. Numerous small abrasions pepper both sides, but none are
of individual significance. Population: 15 in 62, 16 finer (1/10).
(#8355)
Select 1883-S Half Eagle
1613 1883-S MS63 NGC. Luminous gold-orange surfaces have more
vibrancy on the reverse, but both sides offer a bold impression
on the central devices. An attractive Select example of this
challenging San Francisco issue with a five-figure mintage, only
modestly abraded for the grade. Census: 11 in 63, 0 finer (1/10).
(#8363)
1614 1884-CC XF45 PCGS. Rich orange and mint-green patination
bathes both sides of this Choice XF half eagle. Nicely defined
despite high-point wear and only minimally abraded.(#8365)
1615 1885 MS64 PCGS. This sharply defined and fully lustrous 1885
half eagle exhibits brilliant yellow-gold surfaces with only a few
trivial marks on each side. It is an excellent example for the grade,
and virtually a point finer. Population: 55 in 64, 2 finer (1/10).
(#8367)
1616 1890-CC AU5 8 PCGS. Mint-green and apricot-gold patina adorns
both sides of this near-Mint State five dollar. Ample luster occurs in
the areas around and in the interstices of the well defined design
elements. A few trivial marks do not detract.(#8376)
Impressive 1890-CC Half Eagle, MS64
1617 1890-CC MS64 NGC. A hoard of between 20 and 30 Uncirculated
1890-CC half eagles entered the market in the fall of 1996, a
number of which were in the MS62 to MS64 range (Douglas Winter,
2001). Near-Gems such as the example in the present lot, however,
are still scarce. The issue remains very rare in Gem and above.
Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit well struck design
elements, save for the usual minor weakness on the eagle’s neck
and breast and obverse rim. Minute obverse marks deny Gem
classification. Census: 28 in 64, 4 finer (1/10). (#8376)

A 15% Buyer’s Premium ($14 min.) Applies To All Lots
1626 1907 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1907 is one of the most common
dates in the Liberty Head series. Premium Gem examples such as
the present offering are extremely scarce, however, and higher-
grade pieces are almost unobtainable. Ebullient luster exudes from
yellow-gold surfaces displaying sharply struck design elements. A
few minor ticks do not detract. Population: 16 in 66, 0 finer (1/10).
(#8416)
1618 1891-CC MS62 PCGS. Traces of orange patina are present over
lustrous green-gold surfaces on this frosty Mint State Carson City
half eagle. The date is popular with type collectors due to its high
mintage and survival. (#8378)
Lustrous 1891-CC Half Eagle, MS63
Extraordinary 1900-S Liberty Five, MS65
1619 1891-CC MS63 PCGS. This half eagle has a bold strike with
fully defined motifs on both sides. It is a lustrous piece with frosty
yellow surfaces and wisps of pale orange toning. Although the
date is rather plentiful in MS63, PCGS has graded only a few
finer coins. They have only certified 56 better examples, including
resubmissions (1/10). (#8378)
1620 1893-CC AU58 PCGS. Sharply struck with the luster virtually
intact, though modest friction is noted on the yellow-gold devices.
Minimally abraded save for a small tick on the cheekbone.
(#8384)
1621 1893-S MS64 PCGS. The lustrous surfaces are surprisingly clean
with the only mentionable abrasion being a milling mark to the
right of the eagle. Smooth, even mint luster is covered with a light
layer of reddish patina. (#8386)
1623 1899-S MS64 PCGS. Strong luster enlivens this sharply struck
near-Gem. Apricot and mint-green surfaces are minimally abraded
for the designated grade. Population: 33 in 64, 8 finer (1/10).
(#8399)
1625 1901 MS64 PCGS. This frosty half eagle has brilliant light yellow
surfaces, with a few trivial, grade-consistent marks. The strike
is excellent, and the overall eye appeal is high. PCGS has only
certified 64 finer examples (1/10).(#8402)
Conditionally Scarce 1907 Half Eagle, MS66
Surprising 1898-S Five, MS64
1622 1898-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. A reasonably available Liberty half
eagle that is fully struck with bright mint luster and no large or
mentionable abrasions on either side. This issue is conditionally
rare, however, with only a handful of Gem quality examples
recognized by the grading services. This Choice half eagle is quite
affordable in comparison. Population: 30 in 64, 8 finer (1/10).
(#8397)
1624 1900-S MS65 PCGS. This boldly detailed half eagle is a
remarkable and rare coin in Gem preservation. The mintage was
adequate at 329,000 coins, but most survivors today are in lower
Mint State grades. NGC and PCGS combined have only certified
14 coins in MS65 or finer grades, a total that undoubtedly includes
resubmissions. Both sides have full design definition, with brilliant
and frosty yellow-gold luster and peripheral accents of olive-green.
The surfaces exhibit trivial marks on each side that limit the grade.

PROOF LIBERTY HALF EAGLES
Rare 1903 Five Dollar, PR67 Cameo
1627 1903 PR67 Cameo NGC. Proof half eagles saw a production
of only 154 coins in 1903. Walter Breen, in his 1988 Complete
Encyclopedia ofU.S. and Colonial Coins, contends that the proof
five dollar pieces of 1866-1907—that is, the Coronet Head
with Reverse Motto design type—are rarer than their mintages
suggest, and that many survivors are impaired. Similarly, David
Akers, in his 1979 United States Gold Coins, An Analysis of
Auction Records reference, states that “Proofs are rare.”
NGC and PCGS combined have graded 115 Coronet with
Motto half eagle specimens, with the modal grade being in
the Select to near-Gem proof range. Fewer than 30 coins have
been assigned the Cameo designation, and none the Ultra or
Deep Cameo classification.
The current Superb Gem Cameo displays breathtakingly
uniform brass-gold coloration. Moderately frosted motifs stand
out amidst the deeply mirrored fields, yielding a gold-on-black
appearance when the coin is observed from various angles.
The design elements are fully struck, as expected, and close
examination with a loupe reveals no mentionable marks.
Indeed, nothing on the coin’s surface yields even a hint of a
pedigree marker. In summary, this piece exhibits outstanding
technical quality and aesthetically pleasing overall eye appeal,
and as such is sure to draw close attention from specialists in
proof gold coinage. Census: 5 in 67 Cameo, 1 finer Cameo
(12/09). (#88498)

Sparkling 1907 Liberty Five, PR65 Cameo
92 Pieces Minted
INDIAN HALF EAGLES
1628 1907 PR65 Cameo NGC. While the Liberty Head type was
minted through 1908, the 1907 was the final year available in
proof format. The mintage was predictably low with only 92 proofs
produced, but even that number gives a misleading indication of
availability. Garrett-Guth 2006) estimate that only 30 to 35 coins
exist today, and of those survivors a surprising number are cleaned
or otherwise impaired. Also, few examples are known with cameo
contrast. This lovely, deeply mirrored example shows noticeable
contrast between the fields and devices on each side. A curious
area of striking weakness is seen in the centers, but there are no
obvious flaws aside from a lint mark in the field in front of Liberty’s
mouth. Census: 6 in 65 Cameo, 11 finer (1/10). (#88502)
Lustrous 1908 Indian Five, MS64
1629 1908 MS64 PCGS. CAC. A wonderful example of the first Indian
half eagle, struck in the transitional year following production of
the 1908 Liberty fives. This piece is sharply detailed with excellent
yellow'gold luster and frosty surfaces. The surfaces are remarkably
nice for the grade. (#8510)
1630 1908-D MS62 NGC. The first year of the Indian Head half
eagle series. Sharp definition is found on the design elements of
this yellow'gold D^mint representative. A couple of faint linear
abrasions in the upper left obverse quadrant limit the grade.
(#8511)
Sharply Struck 1908-D Five Dollar, MS64
1631 1908-D MS64 NGC. CAC. The 1908-D half eagle is difficult to
obtain any finer than near-Gem. The sharply struck design features
of the current MS64 example complement the pleasing luster

Splendid 1908-D Half Eagle, MS64
1632 1908-D MS64 PCGS. CAC. This splendid near-Gem Indian
half eagle provides an excellent opportunity for the Set Registry
collector. While relatively plentiful at this grade level, the 1908-D
is a major condition rarity any finer, with just nine better pieces
certified by PCGS (1/10). This piece has brilliant and frosty yellow
luster with trivial, grade-consistent marks. (#8511)
Near-Gem 1909-D Five Dollar
1633 1909-D MS64 NGC. CAC. While the 1909-D five dollar, the
most common type issue of the design, remains available for a price
in MS64, that price is strong due to sky-high demand. This near-
Gem offers attractive yellow coloration on the smooth obverse,
while there is more orange-gold luster on the mildly abraded
reverse. NGC has certified 66 numerically finer pieces (1/10).
(#8514)
1634 1910-S MS60 NGC. The surfaces resemble those of a 1909-D
five because they have deep green color intermixed with the usual
reddish-gold. The strike is full, and as one would expect for an
MS60 there are numerous small to medium-sized abrasions on each
side. (#8519)
Fully Struck 1910-S Half Eagle, MS64
1635 1910-S MS64 NGC. The 1910-S half eagle hails from a plentiful
mintage of more than three-quarters of a million coins, and
although examples in the higher Mint State levels are scarce,
examples up to the near-Gem level of this piece, and occasionally
even Gem coins, can be found for a price. Also fortuitous for
collectors is that the issue is generally a well-produced one, with a
sharp strike, bold mintmark, and lustrous surfaces.
The present example is representative of those sterling qualities,
with a full strike that extends even to the headdress feathers at the
bottom of the obverse. The lustrous orange-gold surfaces show a
hint of reddish patina, and the surfaces are exceptionally clean
overall. A couple of small abrasions between stars 9 and 11, and a
horizontal nick to the left of the G in GOD on the reverse, are all
well within the context of the near-Gem grade. Census: 16 in 64, 2
finer (1/10). (#8519)

Bright Gem 1911 Five Dollar
1636 1911 MS65 NGC. Regardless of date, a Gem Indian half eagle is
a prize, and this selection, which hails from a popular type issue,
is sure to find favor with collectors. Strong yellow-orange luster
at the centers trends firmly toward the latter color close to the
margins. Well struck with only a handful of scattered flaws that
have minimal effect on the eye appeal. Despite a generous mintage
of 915,000 pieces, the 1911 five dollar is elusive in MS65 condition
and virtually impossible to find any finer; there are only two such
pieces in the combined certified population (1/10). (#8520)
1637 1911-S MS61 NGC. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit relatively well
struck design elements, though the eagle’s shoulder is a tad soft.
Some dark areas are visible on the borders of both sides. This issue
is fairly scarce in Mint State despite its generous mintage of 1.416
million pieces. (#8522)
Desirable 1911-S Half Eagle, MS62
1638 1911-S MS62 PCGS. CAC. A delightful example with fully
lustrous yellow-gold surfaces and above average design definition.
A few marks are consistent with the grade. The 1911 -S is
a challenging issue in the higher Mint State grade levels. This
piece provides a wonderful opportunity to acquire the issue at a
reasonable price. (#8522)
1639 1912 MS63 NGC. Honey-gold surfaces display pleasing luster and
sharply defined design features. Light marks in the upper reverse
field limit the grade. (#85 23)
Important MS62 1914-S Half Eagle
1640 1914-S MS62 PCGS. This lower-mintage S-mint Indian half
eagle issue is challenging regardless of condition, with MS62 coins
elusive and anything finer flat-out rare. This dusky yellow-orange
example has an uncommonly sharp strike and soft, inviting luster.
Scattered wispy marks contribute to the grade. PCGS has certified
just 24 higher-graded pieces (12/09). (#8529)

PROOF INDIAN HALF EAGLE
Remarkable 1909 ‘Roman Finish’
Indian Half Eagle, PR67 ★
1641 1909 PR67 ★ NGC. Paraphrasing from our description of
“The Matte Proofing Process” (page 36) in The Coinage of
Augustus Saint'Gaudens as Illustrated by the Phillip H. Morse
Collection, when the Mint introduced four new gold coinage
designs in 1908, it was determined, due to the extreme
curvature of the dies, that the old method of producing proof
gold could not be used, in which portions of the coins would
turn out with brilliant mirrored fields. A “sandblast” method
was used, in which the newly produced gold pieces were taken
to an industrial cabinet and “carefully sandblasted on each
side with a stream of fine, industrial sand to impart a dull,
grainy effect. The fineness of the particles and skill of the
workman doing the sandblasting governed the shade and
appearance of the particular coin, ranging from light yellow-
gold, to light brown, to deep khaki-green color.”
Some numismatists liked the new finish. Most did not,
however, and in the following year 1909 the Mint tried a new
so-called Roman gold finish. Breen describes it as “satiny,
semi brilliant, pale lemon color.” The present coin shows two
different perspectives on the Roman finish gold, depending
on the distance from which the observer looks at the coin.
From a distance, it is remarkable how bright the fields are. The
piece appears bright yellow-gold, with a slight hint of reddish
patina. Up close, however, the observer notes the fine-grained
mattelike surfaces, in which tiny individual grains stand out.
As expected of the grade, essential contact is nonexistent, and
the NGC Star appellation justly confirms the overwhelming
appeal. A fine wire rim appears around the entire reverse and
nearly all of the obverse. In PR67 ★ this piece is one of three
pieces so graded, and there are two finer, both PR68 without
the Star (1/10). (#8540)

EARLY EAGLES
Important AU53 1795 Ten Dollar
BD-1, 13 Leaves Reverse
1642 1795 13 Leaves AU53 PCGS. Breen-6830, Taraszka-1,
BD-1, High R.3. Bass-Dannreuther Die State a/a, without
any of the cracks indicating state b for either side. The BD-1
1795 eagle is one of the most available of the Small Eagle
ten dollar die pairs, scarce in an absolute but not a relative
sense; the authors of Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties state that
“there are likely are more known for this variety than all the
other 1795 [eagle] varieties combined.” Still, their estimate
of 225 to 325 pieces known leaves far fewer survivors than
there are interested collectors, a surefire recipe for high prices,
particularly in Extremely Fine and better grades.
Though this AU53 example shows a measure of rub which
precludes a Mint State designation, the still-lustrous butter-
yellow surfaces show more Mint-made artifacts than post-
striking abrasions. Adjustment marks (present across Liberty’s
face), for example, outnumber other marks; the lower and right
obverse show apparent strike-through depressions, possibly
from thread; and the upper left reverse field has a shallow
planchet depression.
None of this is to suggest that this is in any way an
unattractive coin; on the contrary, it has remarkable eye
appeal for its age and history. Particularly beguiling is the rose
coloration, subtle but easily picked up under magnification,
that surrounds the peripheral lettering and stars. Housed in a
green label holder. (#8551)

Heraldic Eagle 1797 Ten Dollar
BD'4, AU50
1643 1797 Large Eagle AU50 NGC. Breen-6834, Taraszka-12, BD-4,
High R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State d/a-b transitional, with the
reverse not showing all die cracks as described in the reference but
showing the beginning of the crack through the R in AMERICA.
This still-lustrous orange-influenced ten dollar piece comes from
the first year of the Heraldic Eagle reverse for that denomination.
Shallow adjustment marks are noted at the lower right obverse,
but the other marks scattered on each side are luster grazes and
abrasions. A slight rim bump is noted near 6 o’clock on the reverse.
Despite these minor faults, truly an appealing coin for the grade.
From The South Texas Collection. (#8559)
1799 Small Stars Ten Dollar, BD-5
1644 1799 Small Stars Obverse PCGS Genuine. Breen-6838,
Taraszka-17, BD-5, R.6 The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests
Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. This piece has Unc Details. The
reverse die was used only for this single die marriage, and all known
examples have a prominent die chip or rust mark between vertical
stripes 4 and 5, just inside the lower shield border. This is one of
the scarcer varieties of 1799 tens. Only 1,250 to 1,750 pieces are
believed to have been struck, and of that low mintage a mere 22 to
30 examples are believed known today. Predictably, the surfaces are
bright from cleaning. Close examination reveals that the cleaning
has not removed all the mint luster. Small remnants can still be
seen around the obverse stars, and there is considerable luster
remaining over the reverse. The striking details are strong overall.
There are numerous tiny abrasions peppered over each side, but the
only marks of any significance are a couple of shallow ones in the
upper right obverse field. (#98562)
Well-Defined 1799 Ten Dollar, AU Details BD-7
1645 1799 Small Stars Obverse—Improperly Cleaned, Rim Damage—
NGC. AU Details. Irregular Date, Small Stars, Breen-6840,
Taraszka-19, BD-7, R.3. This appears to be Obverse State a, as
there are no clashing or clashing evident. Of the eight Small Star
varieties for 1799, the BD-7 is the one most frequently encountered.
The surfaces are unnaturally bright from cleaning and there are
numerous small to medium sized abrasions on each side. The rim
damage mention on the insert apparently refers to smoothing of
the rim between 7 and 9 o’clock. The striking details are sharp
throughout and the color is bright yellow-gold. (#98562)

Extremely Rare BD-4 1799
Small Stars Obverse Eagle, AU55
1646 1799 Small Stars Obverse AU55 PCGS. Breen-6838, Taraszka-16,
BD-4, R.7. Since Harry Bass Jr. had a lone example of BD-4 to
examine in the course of his research, he could only confirm one
die state. But he posited the existence of both earlier and terminal
states. The current coin is identical in terms of die state to the
BD-4 specimen in Bass’ core collection. This variety comprises
Bass-Dannreuther obverse die 4 and reverse die A. It is believed
that reverse A became terminal during this short die marriage
(its final of four uses). Obverse 4 was later paired with two other
reverse dies to create BD-5 and BD-6, both of which are rare, but
not to the extent of BD-4.
A hint of green accents the light yellow-gold surfaces of this
Choice AU piece. The surfaces are lightly abraded, consistent with
the grade. A tiny mark above the left top of Y will identify this
piece. A minuscule rim nick over the R in LIBERTY is hidden by
the PCGS holder. There is no evidence of adjustment marks on
either side. (#98562)
XF40 1801 Eagle, BD-2
1647 1801 XF40 PCGS. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. Bass-
Dannreuther Die State b/b, with “spikes” (actually lines from the
reverse shield) through Liberty’s cap. This variety’s availability (it
does not qualify as “scarce” in an absolute sense) has long been a
source of attraction to type collectors, though the corresponding
increased demand has elevated the BD-2 1801 eagle close to its
less-available counterparts. On this XF coin, faint glimmers of
reflective luster are present at the yellow-orange margins. Shallow
but significant abrasions are present through the fields and on
the devices, though the lower left obverse’s parallel lines are die
adjustment marks and not flaws picked up in circulation. Housed
in a green label holder.

Near-Mint 1801 Eagle, BD-2
1648 1801 AU58 PCGS. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. Bass-
Dannreuther Die State b/b, with clash marks through cap, a
frequently seen and important diagnostic. Garrett and Guth write
in their Encyclopedia of US. Gold Coins, “The 1801 eagle has a
high mintage and is noted for having the second-highest surviving
population (after 1799), thus it is an excellent choice as one of the
more affordable dates of the type.” This brightly lustrous near-Mint
example, yellow-gold with only light marks and a trace of friction,
similarly is a strong candidate for the type collector seeking a coin
with Mint State-grade eye appeal for less money. (#8564)
BD-2 1801 Eagle, MS61
1649 1801 MS61 NGC. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. Bass-
Dannreuther Die State b/b, with clash marks through Liberty’s
cap. This is an example of the more commonly seen BD-2 die
pair, distinguished by the obverse with star 1 distant from Liberty’s
curl. Bass and Dannreuther note: “This is the most available early
eagle variety, as the dies were among the most productive of the
type.” This availability extends to Mint State, though as may be
expected, demand still exceeds supply. This radiant, lightly abraded
yellow-gold piece offers strong central definition, though a loss
of detail is noted on a handful of the highest design elements. A
strongly appealing coin. (#8564)

1650 1803 Small Stars Reverse XF45 PCGS. Breen-6844, Taraszka-28,
BD-3, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/c, with only light
cracking on the reverse. The BD-3, very scarce but still the most
available 1803 Small Reverse Stars eagle die pair, brings together
two extraordinarily long-lived dies, though the reverse die met
its end in this die pair. This Choice XF butter-yellow example has
surprisingly radiant butter-yellow surfaces and a pleasing level of
remaining detail despite unmistakable signs of wear. In addition to
the expected light digs, an old pinscratch is noted at the upper part
of Liberty’s portrait. (#8565)

While the obverse die used to strike 1803-dated eagles was seemingly
charmed, the reverse dies were not; six distinct reverse dies are
known paired with the single obverse. Reverse A, as it is known
in the Bass-Dannreuther reference, shows die lumps between the
first T and the A in STATES. This near-Mint representative offers
considerable yellow-gold luster in fields that are almost flashy,
though the highest design elements show evidence of rub. Still, a
thoroughly delightful example of this rare Small Stars die pair.

LIBERTY EAGLES
1652 1843-0 AU50 PCGS. Traces of luster reside in the recesses of this
well defined O-mint ten dollar. Yellow-gold surfaces reveal a few
minute surface and rim marks.(#8589)
AU53 1845-0 Ten Dollar
1653 1845-0 AU53 PCGS. Bright lemon-yellow surfaces are
moderately abraded with appreciable wear, though the protected
peripheral fields show glints of prooflike reflectivity. Strong design
definition enhances each side, though the feathers on the eagle
are particularly sharp. An important example of this O-mint eagle
issue. Population: 10 in 53, 12 finer (12/09). (#8593)
1845-0 Eagle, AU55 From the S.S. Republic
1654 1845-0 AU55 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. Variety One. NGC
describes this as a “doubled 84” variety (read: repunched date).
Radiant yellow-gold surfaces, though moderately abraded, retain
considerable prooflike reflectivity. A line of shallow reed marks
crosses Liberty’s cheek, though the impact on the eye appeal is
curiously minimal. (#8593)
1655 1848-0—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. XF Details. Unlike the high
mintage 1847-0, the 1848-0 had a small production of just 35,850
pieces. Only a handful of Mint State coins are known. This moderately
circulated representative has hairlined fields but lacks distracting marks.
A shield ring is noted atop the second vertical stripe.(#8600)
1656 1850-0 XF45 PCGS. Here is an amazing green-gold charmer
with considerable luster still visible on each side. In fact, this coin
is more green than gold in overall color. The surfaces are typically
abraded, yet none are significant. Population: 40 in 45, 26 finer
(1/10).(#8605)
Scarce 1852-0 Eagle, AU53
1657 1852-0 AU53 PCGS. The 1852-0 ten dollar is very scarce in the
About Uncirculated grade levels and extremely rare in Mint State.
PCGS and NGC have certified a mere three Uncirculated pieces,
all MS60 or MS61! The peach-gold surfaces of this AU53 specimen
retains luster in the recesses and exhibits well defined devices, save
for the usual softness in the star centers. (#8609)
1658 1853 MS61 NGC. Despite the presence of trivial abrasions and
a few tiny rim nicks, this 1853 ten is a remarkable example of the
No Motto design. The luster is bright with green-gold surfaces and
satiny mint brilliance. This is an important issue in Mint State
grades. Census: 20 in 61, 9 finer (1/10). (#8610)
Challenging 1854-0 Large Date Eagle, AU58
1659 1854-0 Large Date AU58 NGC. The Large Date variety was
made in error when the diesinker mistakenly used a date punch
for a silver dollar. There is disagreement as to whether the Large
or Small Date is scarcer. In any event, near-Mint State Large Date
examples such as the current offering are challenging to acquire. Its
yellow-gold surfaces retain a good amount of luster and the centers
exhibit the usual softness, though the remaining areas are well
impressed. (#98614)
1660 1855 AU53 PCGS. Peach-tinged luster beckons from the borders
and eagle of this well struck and moderately abraded No Motto
eagle. A fairly scarce issue that in the present grade trades for only a
modest premium above bullion value.(#8616)
1661 1855 AU58 NGC. Considerable luster invigorates the yellow-
gold surfaces of this near-Mint State eagle. The design elements
are well defined, and distributed small marks are in line with a coin
having experienced some circulation. Scarce at this grade level and
difficult in Mint State.(#8616)
Choice AU 1857 Ten Dollar
1662 1857 AU55 NGC. During the 1850s, heavy production of double
eagles limited the mintage of the less convenient eagles. The 1857
ten has a mintage of only 16,606 pieces, and NGC has certified
only two examples in Mint State, both as MS60. The present
Choice AU representative is nicely struck and provides substantial
luster. Marks are generally confined to the cheek and upper reverse
field. Census: 18 in 55, 27 finer (12/09). (#8622)

Still-Lustrous XF45 1857-0 Eagle
1663 1857-0 XF45 NGC. A still-lustrous yellow-gold Choice XF
example from this O-mint eagle issue of only 5,500 pieces. Strongly
defined with pockets of alloy around certain stars and at the nearby
rims, which also show a handful of minor flaws. Scattered light
abrasions are consistent with the grade. Census: 13 in 45, 48 finer
(12/09). (#8623)
1664 1860-0 XF40 PCGS. An outstanding green-gold example, this
1860-0 Liberty eagle is a lovely piece for the grade. Both sides
have a few grade-consistent surface marks. A frame of light orange
toning enhances the overall eye appeal.(#98631)
1665 1861 AU55 NGC. Honey-gold surfaces display hints of light tan
and retain traces of luster in the recessed areas. Well defined, and
revealing just a few minute circulation marks. (#8633)
1666 1861 AU55 PCGS. Five-fold or rounded bun subtype. An original
Choice AU No Motto ten from the initial year of the Civil War.
Toned orange and olive-green with a good strike and scattered
small marks.(#8633)
1667 1868-S XF45 PCGS. An attractive Choice XF example of this
underrated post-Civil War San Francisco eagle issue, strongly
struck with considerable luster remaining in the deep yellow-gold
fields, particularly the reverse. Slight weakness on the stars is not
uncommon for the time, and the light wear and abrasions visible
on each side are grade-consistent. Population: 10 in 45, 25 finer
(1/10).(#8654)
1668 1868-S XF45 PCGS. Banker and exporter preferences for the
more convenient double eagle led to a low mintage for the 1868-S
ten. Just 13,500 pieces were coined, and none were set aside by
collectors until many years later. Luster fills design crevices, and
the moderately marked surfaces display original pumpkin-gold
color. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 10 in 45,
25 finer (1/10).(#8654)
1669 1871 XF40 PCGS. Well defined, yellow-gold surfaces are tinted
with hints of light green and are lightly abraded. From an extremely
small mintage of 1,790 circulation strikes. Population: 6 in 40, 22
finer (12/09).(#8660)
Appealing 1873-S Ten Dollar, XF45
1670 1873-S XF45 PCGS. An appealing Choice XF example of this
elusive San Francisco ten dollar issue, one of only 12,000 pieces
struck. Most known examples are in VF and XF condition, and
Mint State coins are nearly nonexistent. Apricot-gold surfaces
exhibit well defined design motifs and are only lightly abraded.
Population: 6 in 45, 14 finer (12/09). (#8668)
1671 1874 MS61 PCGS. The 1874 ten is a scarce date overall and
difficult to locate in Mint State. This peach-gold MS61 specimen
displays luster around and in the interstices of the well struck
devices. Distributed small marks determine the grade. Population:
19 in 61, 17 finer (1/10).(#8669)
1672 1878-S AU55 NGC. Both sides of this Choice AU ten dollar yield
a brass-gold appearance. This well defined piece displays traces of
luster in the recessed areas. Distributed small marks—typical of
the issue—are noted over both sides. This scarce date is extremely
elusive in Mint State grades. Census: 32 in 55, 30 finer (1/10).
(#8682)
1673 1880 MS63 NGC. A frosty and brilliant yellow example with
pleasing surfaces for the grade. The design elements are sharply
defined. The 1880 is a high mintage issue that is elusive in Mint
State. Census: 31 in 63, 15 finer (1/10).(#8687)
1674 1880-CC AU50 PCGS. Yellow-gold surfaces retain traces of
luster in the recessed areas. This is a nicely defined piece with
no more marks than what would be expected for a coin seeing
some circulation. From a low mintage of less than 12,000 pieces.
(# 8688 )
Low Mintage 1880-CC Eagle, AU55
1675 1880-CC AU55 NGC. Choice AU is the highest grade most
collectors will encounter of this Carson City issue that comes from
a mintage of only 11,190 pieces. This example displays traces of
luster in the recessed areas of the well struck design elements. Both
sides yield yellow-gold hues and are lightly abraded. (#8688)
1676 1881 MS63 PCGS. Predominantly pumpkin-gold, although the
margins have aqua-green hues. Lustrous and boldly impressed with
the scattered minor marks associated with the MS63 level. Encased
in a green label holder. (#8691)
1677 1881-0 AU50 NGC. Splashes of reddish-purple patina make
occasional visits to the peach-gold surfaces of this sharply defined
ten dollar, and the fields on both sides yield partially prooflike
characteristics. A scattering of small surface and rim marks is
noted. (#8693)
Conditionally Elusive 1881-S Ten, MS63
Tied for Finest Certified
1678 1881-S MS63 PCGS. CAC. With a mintage of 970,000 coins,
the 1881-S is a rather available issue for Liberty eagles of the
1880s. But, surprisingly, this MS63 piece is tied for the finest of 50
coins certified by NGC and PCGS combined. This piece is sharply
defined with light yellow and pink surfaces and excellent eye
appeal. Population: 28 in 63, 0 finer (1/10). (#8694)

Scarce 1883 Ten Dollar, MS63
1679 1883 MS63 PCGS. The 1883 ten dollar is common thanks to
European bank hoards, where hundreds of examples were found
in MS60 to MS62. MS63 specimens such as the present piece are
scarce; near-Gems are highly elusive. PCGS and NGC have graded
none finer than MS64. Lustrous peach-gold surfaces exhibit traces
of mint-green and are sharply struck. Light marks limit the grade.
Population: 66 in 63, 4 finer (1/10). (#8699)
1680 1884-CC XF45 NGC. This Choice XL ten dollar displays traces
of luster in the recesses of its peach-gold surfaces. Well defined and
minimally abraded. (#8704)
Prooflike 1885 Liberty Ten, MS63
1681 1885 MS63 PCGS. The 1885 Liberty eagle is an extremely
important condition rarity, with the typical survivor hovering
around the MS60 grade level. This piece has rich yellow-gold
luster with prooflike fields, deeper yellow along the borders, and
light cameo contrast. Trivial surface marks are inconsequential.
Population: 36 in 63, 10 finer (1/10). (#8706)
Seldom Seen Near-Gem 1885 Ten Dollar
1682 1885 MS64 PCGS. Unlike the 1880 to 1882 Philadelphia issues,
each of which was struck in excess of 1 million pieces, the 1885
has a relatively low mintage of 253,462 pieces. Uncirculated
examples are scarcer than expected, but readily collected in grades
through MS62. Near-Gems, however, are rare, and none have been
certified by PCGS as Gem or finer (1/10). This lustrous and sharply
impressed example has lime-green borders and apricot fields and
devices. No marks merit mention, and the eye appeal is excellent
for this much better date. (#8706)
1683 1887-S MS63 NGC. While the 1887-S eagle is readily available
through most lower Mint State grades, Select examples are elusive
and finer coins are conditionally rare. This MS63 coin has bright
luster in pale yellow-gold with a “shadow” ring around the obverse.
Sharply struck with small, scattered marks that are grade-consistent.
Census: 49 in 63, 5 finer (1/10).(#8711)
1684 1887-S MS63 PCGS. Brass-gold surfaces yield pleasing luster
and well struck design features. Scattered minute marks account
for the grade. Challenging at the Select level and rare any finer.
Population: 69 in 63, 2 finer (1/10).(#8711)
1685 1887-S MS63 PCGS. Bold design definition and excellent eye
appeal are evident on this yellow and pinkish-gold eagle. Traces
of peripheral olive patina add to its overall desirability. A lovely
example of a condition rarity in the Liberty eagle series. Population:
69 in 63, 2 finer (1/10).(#8711)
Rare Choice 1889-S Ten Dollar
1686 1889-S MS64 NGC. CAC. The mintage of the 1889-S eagle—
more than 425,000 coins—suggests that it is plentiful, and indeed
it is readily secured in MS61 or MS62. MS63 examples are scarce,
however, and the issue is a rarity at the MS64 level. Like so many
original gold coins, the present piece is predominantly pumpkin-
gold with lime-green peripheries. It is lustrous and intricately struck
with only one mark of consequence, on the field beneath the left
(facing) wing. Census: 7 in 64, 0 finer (1/10). (#8716)
Challenging 1890-CC Eagle, MS61
1687 1890-CC MS61 NGC. The 1890-CC eagle is a low-mintage date
of 17,500 pieces that offers a significant challenge in Mint State.
This MS61 example show a uniformly sharp strike and considerable
attractive luster. Distributed small marks limit the grade. Census:
71 in 61, 51 finer (12/09). (#8718)
Charming 1890-CC Ten, MS62
1688 1890-CC MS62 PCGS. Subdued green-gold surfaces are exhibited
on this pleasing Carson City Mint ten, possessing the charm
of the Nevada Mint and the mystique of the Old West. Here is
an important opportunity for the type collector to acquire an
attractive Nevada gold piece. Population: 31 in 62, 10 finer (1/10).

Conditionally Rare 1891 Eagle, MS63
1689 1891 MS63 PCGS. The 1891 Liberty eagle is a scarcer issue
with a mintage of 91,868 coins. This piece is a remarkable Select
Mint State example with fully brilliant and highly lustrous yellow-
gold surfaces and frosty luster. An excellent opportunity for the
specialist. Population: 33 in 63, 3 finer (1/10). (#8719)
1690 1891-CC AU58 PCGS. Bright yellow-gold luster with only
modest friction over the high points. Though several light to
moderate abrasions appear in the face area, the overall quantity of
marks is grade-consistent. (#8720)
1691 1891-CC MS61 NGC. FS-501. The mintmark is clearly
repunched, a variety first reported by gold specialist Douglas
Winter. A frosty and lustrous yellow-gold representative of the
Carson City Mint, this pleasing piece has darker patina on the high
points, attesting to its originality. (#87 20)
1692 1891-CC MS61 NGC. Sharply struck with a near-complete
luster flow. Brassy-gold surfaces reveal distributed light marks.
(#8720)
Pleasing MS62 1891-CC Ten
1693 1891-CC MS62 PCGS. Those in search of a quality Mint State
ten dollar piece for a Carson City type set inevitably select an
1891-CC, since all other issues of the denomination from the
legendary facility are formidable rarities at the MS62 level. This
honey-gold representative is sharply struck and has no singularly
significant marks. (#8720)
1695 1895-0 MS62 PCGS. A highly lustrous and brilliant Mint State
example, this lovely eagle has generally sharp design definition with
excellent eye appeal for the grade. Only a few finer examples have
been certified. Population: 73 in 62, 14 finer (1/10).(#8733)
1696 1895-S MS61 NGC. Like many of its San Francisco fellows, the
1895-S eagle is underrated despite a mintage of just 49,000 pieces.
The present MS61 survivor has warm yellow-gold luster and an
above-average strike, though small abrasions pepper the obverse
and several more overt marks are noted in the right obverse field.
Census: 5 in 61, 4 finer (1/10). (#8734)
1697 1899-S MS63 NGC. Bright yellow-gold luster and strong design
detail. This is a great Select example of its turn-of-the-century issue
with few overt abrasions. Unexpectedly scarce at the MS63 level;
it seems the issue was little-saved in foreign bank holdings. Census:
35 in 63, 14 finer (12/09).(#8744)
Stunning 1901-S Liberty Ten, MS66
1698 1901-S MS66 PCGS. This is a stunning Premium Gem example
of a date that is generally considered common; however, it is
uncommon in this grade. This specimen has intense yellow-gold
luster with delightful olive accents. PCGS has only certified two
finer examples of this issue, despite a mintage of almost 3 million
coins (1/10). (#8749)
Vibrant Gem 1894 Ten Dollar
1694 1894 MS65 NGC. This Gem P-mint eagle offers bold central
detail, though a handful of stars show striking softness. Yellow-gold
surfaces are delightfully frosty with suggestions of deeper color in
tiny dots to the left of Liberty’s profile. Tied for numerically finest
among NGC-certified examples (1/10). (#8729)

INDIAN EAGLES
Attractive 1907 Wire Rim Ten, MS63
1699 1907 Wire Rim MS63 PCGS. It was Theodore Roosevelt
who urged Augustus Saint-Gaudens to place a warbonnet on
his figure of Liberty that was used on the 1907 ten dollar. Saint-
Gaudens also used a slightly modified version of the standing
eagle used on Roosevelt’s special inaugural medal from 1905.
Then the sculptor submitted the so-called Wire Rim variant
to the Mint. However, according to Roger Burdette and Jeff
Reichenberger in a Coin World article in 2007,
“Chief Engraver Charles Barber decided that the initial
version would never be suitable for commerce. The first
variety of $10 coin had no properly defined rim, made a
wobbly stack when the experimental pieces were piled,
and required use of a medal press to bring up the design.
To remedy these defects, Barber made a new set of hubs
and dies from the same set of models as before. But this
time, he cut a well defined rim into the hubs.”
The Wire Rim tens have been relegated to pattern status,
although neither the Wire Rim nor the Rolled Rim that
followed it are technically patterns. Again, quoting Burdette,
“... they might be more accurately described as special issues
and withdrawn production pieces (or production trials).”
This example has lovely reddish-golden and lilac patina
interspersed over each side. The grade seems unduly harsh,
with the only (not-so-obvious) hairlines over the figure of the
Native American and eagle. The always-seen die polishing lines
are plainly evident in the fields. The surfaces are remarkably
free from post-striking defects on both obverse and reverse, and
the devices are sharply struck. (#8850)

Gem 1907 No Periods Ten Dollar
1700 1907 No Periods MS65 PCGS. A shining Gem example of the
first widely distributed Saint-Gaudens eagle issue. Though the
centers are softly defined as usual, the sun-gold and lemon-yellow
hues of the immensely lustrous surfaces supply immense eye appeal.
PCGS has certified just 77 finer examples (12/09). (#8852)
Select No Motto 1908-D Eagle
1701 1908-D No Motto MS63 NGC. Slight striking softness through
the centers is of little concern in the context of the overall eye
appeal. Sun-influenced wheat-gold surfaces are luminously radiant,
and aside from a small rim bump at the right reverse, that side
is relatively smooth. Wispy abrasions and a few small obverse
marks account for the grade. Census: 32 in 63, 37 finer (1/10).
(#8854)
MS62 1908-D With Motto Eagle
1702 1908-D Motto MS62 PCGS. A strongly detailed example of this
first-year With Motto Denver eagle issue, challenging any finer
despite a generous mintage. This MS62 example has immense
luster that enlivens the pale straw-gold surfaces. A number of
light abrasions are present on and around Liberty’s face, and the
mintmark is curiously flattened. (#8860)
1703 1908-S MS65 PCGS. Garrett and Guth note: “This date is
available in gem and even superb gem grades in spite of the
very low mintage. Most examples were very sharply struck and
quite lustrous, some with a fine granular appearance, and others
frostier.” This sharp yellow-orange piece has intense luster and the
aforementioned crisp detail. Only a handful of tiny ticks are visible,
and the small mark above Liberty’s eye is entirely grade-consistent.
While the writers were literally truthful in that the 1908-S ten
dollar exists in Gem and better grades, it is conditionally rare as
such, as shown by the PCGS population data: 11 in 65, 21 finer
(1/10). (#8861)
1704 1909 MS62 NGC. Frosty lemon-yellow surfaces with fully
brilliant luster on both sides, this Indian ten is sharply defined with
excellent eye appeal. Trivial surface marks are entirely consistent
with the grade. (#8862)
Impressive MS64 1910 Eagle
1705 1910 MS64 PCGS. Bold sun-gold and butter-yellow hues prevail
on this near-Gem, though occasional emerald shadings are also
present. Minimally marked on the portrait, which sports bold
definition on Liberty’s often-weak hair. Housed in a green label
holder. PCGS has certified 79 finer examples (1/10). (#8865)

Session Three, Auction #1137 • Friday, February 5, 2010 • 6:00 PM PT 223
1706 1910-D MS63 PCGS. Housed in a green-label PCGS holder,
this Select Mint State 1910-D eagle has frosty yellow luster with
splendid pink and rose overtones. A few trivial surface marks are
expected at the grade level.(#8866)
Well Defined 1910-D Gem Eagle
1707 1910-D MS65 NGC. Despite that a vast majority of the 2.3
million mintage was melted during the 1930s, sufficient numbers
survived in America and overseas to satisfy collector and type
demand. The yellow-gold satiny surfaces of this Gem display
above-average definition on the date, stars, and reverse lettering,
areas often weak owing to die damage. A nicely preserved piece.
(# 8866 )
1708 1911-D AU50 PCGS. Pretty yellow-gold and light green
patination endows this D-mint specimen. Generally well defined
and minimally marked. (#8869)
1709 1911-D AU55 PCGS. Traces of luster reside in the recessed areas
of relatively well defined design elements. Yellow-gold surfaces are
imbued with hints of mint-green and are lightly marked, including
a linear contact on Liberty’s cheek. (#8869)
1710 1911-D AU55 PCGS. A good amount of luster resides on the
yellow-gold surfaces of this Choice AU ten dollar and relatively
strong definition occurs on the design elements. A few minute
contact marks are unimportant.(#8869)
1711 1911-D AU55 NGC. Splashes of greenish-gray visit the peach-
gold surfaces of this Choice AU eagle. Both sides show well defined
devices and a good amount of luster. Some minute marks are in
concert with a coin experiencing brief circulation.(#8869)
Desirable 1911-D Indian Ten, AU58
1712 1911-D AU58 PCGS. Only a trace of rub and some dark patina
on the high points are evident on this important key issue in the
Indian eagle series. This piece has lightly abraded surfaces, as usual
for the date and grade. A number of higher-grade pieces have
been certified, but they rarely appear for sale in the marketplace.
(#8869)
Bright Near-Gem 1913 Eagle
1713 1913 MS64 NGC. Bold lemon-gold and sun-yellow luster lights
up this near-Gem, well-defined and attractive. Both sides are
minimally abraded overall, though a horizontal mark on Liberty’s
cheek precludes a Gem or better designation. Challenging any
better; NGC has graded 92 numerically finer examples (1/10).
(#8873)
1714 1913-S AU55 ANACS. Rich orange-gold color contributes
to the eye appeal of this important Indian ten. Both sides have
considerable luster with only a few imperfections.(#8874)
Near-Mint 1913-S Ten Dollar
1715 1913-S AU58 NGC. A luminous yellow-orange example with all
the characteristics of a briefly circulated coin: minor rub on the high
points, nearly intact luster, and an assortment of small to moderate
marks. A prominent die erosion line passes through the first two
digits in the date and arcs into the nearby field. (#8874)
1716 1914-D MS62 NGC. The yellow-gold surfaces of this ten dollar
reveal minimal impact on the luster flow from scattered scuffs.
Well struck throughout.(#8876)
1717 1926 MS64 NGC. Here is a lovely example of the plentiful 1926
Indian ten, one of two dates most often chosen for type collections
due to their availability. Light yellow surfaces display traces of
green and pink toning. Just a few too many marks are present for a
Gem grade determination. (#8882)
1718 1932 MS64 NGC. An impressive 1930s gold piece with frosty
yellow luster and considerable green patina. Hints of rose add to its
overall eye appeal.(#8884)
1719 1932 MS64 NGC. Here is a frosty near-Gem 1932 Indian ten,
the only collectible gold coin of the 1930s. This piece has brilliant
yellow luster with wisps of delightful rose toning. (#8884)

LIBERTY DOUBLE EAGLES
1720 1850 XF45 PCGS. This is an attractive Choice XF example of this
always-popular first year of issue in the twenty dollar Liberty series.
Each side is welhbalanced and there are only minute abrasions
scattered about. (#8902)
Popular 1850 Double Eagle, AU58
1721 1850 AU58 NGC. An attractive example of this popular first-year
1850 double eagle, displaying partial prooflikeness in the fields
within the protected areas. Yellow'gold surfaces exhibit well struck
design elements and reveal the distributed marks one would expect
on a large gold coin that saw brief circulation. (#8902)
1722 1850-0 VF20 NGC. This popular issue represents the first year
of issue for the double eagle series, with examples only coined
in Philadelphia and New Orleans. They are especially popular
with type collectors. Although noticeably worn, this example has
pleasing greenish'gold surfaces with only trivial grade'Consistent
marks. (#8903)
Attractive XF 1850-0 Twenty
1723 1850-0 XF40 NGC. Both sides have weak peripheral details but
stronger central motifs, a common theme for the issue. The surfaces
exhibit bright green-gold color, with myriad abrasions, expected
for the grade. After even brief circulation, these large and soft gold
coins tended to gather numerous handling marks, but this coin has
survived well in that regard. (#8903)
Appealing AU 1850-0 Double Eagle
1724 1850-0 AU50 PCGS. While this first O-mint double eagle issue is
relatively available in grades through VF, XF coins are elusive, and
anything finer than that is genuinely scarce. This AU50 example
shows minimal wear and is only lightly abraded on the well-defined
central devices, though the peripheral zones exhibit more marks
and design weakness, particularly in the stars closest to the coronet.
The overall eye appeal is considerable, however, in large part
thanks to the generous green-gold mint luster in the protected
areas. Population: 19 in 50, 41 finer (1/10). (#8903)
1725 1852 XF45 NGC. An attractive light yellow example of this
popular double eagle, likely struck from California mined gold
that was shipped to Philadelphia. Hints of luster remain, although
noticeable wear is evident on each side as expected. (#8906)

Lustrous 1853 Double Eagle
1726 1853 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests
Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has
the details of an Uncirculated example with obverse scratches.
These are faint, however, and are located near star 1 and on the
cheekbone. A patch of delicate hairlines is noted near a small
strike-through near star 5. Were it not for these minor problems,
the present piece would rank among the finest examples of the
issue, since the coin is fully lustrous and has a Gem-quality reverse.
(#8908)
1727 1854 Small Date AU53 NGC. A lightly circulated yellow-gold
example of the Small Date variant that retains considerable luster.
The portrait and surrounding fields show a few moderate abrasions,
while the reverse shows small pockets of dark encrustation on parts
of the devices.(#8911)
Remarkable MS62 1856-S Twenty
Likely From the S.S. Central America
1728 1856-S MS62 PCGS. Remarkable quality for an early S-mint
double eagle. A number of 1856-S twenties were recovered from
the S.S. Central America, and while this coin is not specifically
attributed to that source, such an origin is plausible. The effusive,
luminous yellow-orange surfaces share the same aura as a number
of the shipwreck pieces, and while small abrasions on the cheek
contribute to the grade, they have a minimal effect on the eye
appeal. Population: 18 in 62, 13 finer (1/10). (#8919)
Brilliant 1857-S Twenty, MS63
From the S.S. Central America Treasure
1729 1857-S Narrow Serif MS63 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Central America.
Here is a fully brilliant and highly lustrous double eagle from the
S.S. Central America treasure, struck just weeks or months before
leaving on its fateful voyage. The surfaces are outstanding for the
grade, and faint splashes of orange toning add to the overall eye
appeal. (#70002)
1730 1859-S AU55 NGC. Minted after the loss of the S.S. Central
America and long enough before the losses of the S.S. Brother
Jonathan and S.S. Republic, so that there is a good chance this coin
had been in numismatic circulation before the discovery of those
treasures. The 1859-S had a strong mintage of more than 600,000
coins, but survivors are infrequently encountered. This piece is
fully lustrous, except for traces of high-point wear. (#8928)
Desirable 1862 Twenty, XF45
1731 1862 XF45 PCGS. An important, lower mintage Civil War era
double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, with few high grade
survivors. In fact, PCGS has only certified 43 coins in Choice
XF or finer grades. Both sides of this greenish-gold piece have
splashes of coppery luster. Population: 12 in 45, 31 finer (1/10).
(#8937)
Popular 1863-S Twenty, AU58
1732 1863-S AU58 NGC. The surfaces are lightly hairlined and
exhibit noticeable high-point wear, particularly on the obverse, but
the luster is intense and nearly full over both sides. A few minor
coin-to-coin marks are evident in the fields. Once a conditionally
rare S-mint twenty, almost always seen in VF to XF grades;
around 300 pieces were recovered from the S.S. Republic and S.S.
Brother Jonathan shipwrecks, including many in AU condition.

Appealing 1864-S Double Eagle, MS62
1733 1864-S MS62 PCGS. Prior to the discoveries of the S.S. Brother
Jonathan and the S.S. Republic , the 1864-S was found mostly in Very
Fine to Extremely Fine condition. The shipwreck hoards elevated
the ‘64-S population, especially in the About Uncirculated and
lower Mint State levels of preservation.
We cannot say one way or the other whether this MS62
specimen came from one of these hoards. Close inspection of its
yellow-gold surfaces imbued with hints of light green show no
apparent effects of salt water immersion. Both sides yield pleasing
luster and well struck design elements. It is only the presence of
some scattered surface and rim marks that preclude a finer grade.
Nevertheless, it generates nice eye appeal for the designated grade.
Population: 10 in 62, 3 finer (1/10). (#8942)
1734 1865-S XF45 NGC. The S.S. Central America, S.S. Brother
Jonathan, and S.S. Republic treasure discoveries brought a large
number of Mint State Type One double eagles to the market,
including a fair number of 1865-S twenties. At one time, this piece
would have been considered a top tier example, while today, it is
a pleasing type coin. Lightly abraded yellow-gold surfaces retain
hints of pink toning and traces of luster. (#8944)
1735 1867 XF45 PCGS. Luster brightens substantial portions of this
Choice XF Type Two twenty. Minor marks are scattered, but only
a small reverse rim ding at 1:30 is worthy of passing comment.
(#8951)
Distinctive AU53 Proof like 1868 Twenty
1736 1868 AU53 Proof like NGC. Though both sides of this Type Two
double eagle exhibit a degree of wear, the prooflike reflectivity
remaining in the fields is unmistakable and adds greatly to the
eye appeal. Well struck with scattered light abrasions and several
shallow cuts in the field near Liberty’s forehead. (#78953)
1870 Double Eagle, Choice AU
1737 1870 AU55 NGC. With its Carson City counterpart attracting
most of the attention, the 1870 double eagle from Philadelphia
is underrated despite a skimpy, little-saved mintage. This well
struck example remains delightfully lustrous, with modest wear
and light, scattered abrasions affecting the yellow-gold surfaces.
(#8957)
High-End MS62 1873 Open 3 Twenty
1738 1873 Open 3 MS62 NGC. CAC. With the initial production
of Close 3 coins, the public criticized pieces of all denominations,
leading the Mint to change over to the Open 3 logotype early in
the year. This piece represents the new date style with lustrous
yellow-gold surfaces and satiny mint brilliance. (#8967)

Impressive MS63 1875 Twenty
1739 1875 MS63 PCGS. Garrett and Guth note that while the 1875
double eagle is not a rarity in circulated or even lower-level
Mint State grades, “the date is unusual and popular as the only
collectible [gold] issue from the Philadelphia Mint in 1875. All
other denominations were made in very limited numbers and are
very rare.” Moreover, anything finer than this Select example is
a condition rarity, with just seven such certification events in the
combined NGC and PCGS population (1/10). This MS63 coin is
well struck with bold yellow-gold luster that shows glints of honey
and orange. Both sides show scattered abrasions, but they are
shallow and not individually distracting. Solid eye appeal for the
grade assigned. (#8973)
Delightful MS62 1876 Twenty
1740 1876 MS62 PCGS. Heavy Motto. Attractive straw-gold color
on the obverse with yellow-orange overtones on the reverse. This
Mint State coin is well struck for a Type Two double eagle, though
the definition on Liberty’s hair is not absolute. Scattered wispy
abrasions contribute to the grade. PCGS has certified 45 finer
pieces (1/10). (#8976)
Colorful MS62 1877 Twenty
1741 1877 MS62 PCGS. A shining sun-yellow and wheat-gold
representative from the beginning of the Type Three design for
Liberty double eagles, well struck with few overt abrasions on the
devices. An alloy streak slanting diagonally from the I in UNITED
adds character to the reverse. PCGS has graded 14 finer pieces
(1/10). (#8982)
Charming XF 1877-CC Twenty
1742 1877-CC XF40 PCGS. Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s wings show
moderate wear, but much luster beckons from the design recesses,
and the apricot-gold color is original. Marks are relatively few, and
only a single brief pinscratch is noted near obverse star 13. Housed
in a green label holder. (#8983)
1743 1878 MS61 NGC. Here is a pleasing 1878 Type Three double
eagle, and a great condition rarity that is seldom seen much nicer.
This piece has rich green and rose toning over prooflike surfaces
with frosty luster on the devices. Myriad abrasions are expected for
the grade. (#8985)
Deeply Toned 1878-CC Twenty, XF45
1744 1878-CC XF45 PCGS. Deep green and steel patina is evident
over both sides of this scarce Carson City Mint double eagle. Just
13,180 coins were minted, and survivors are scarce in all grades.
For the collector who desires an early Carson City Mint double
eagle, here is an important opportunity. (#8986)
1745 1878-S MS61 PCGS. A nicely struck S-mint representative with
honey-gold surfaces. Small surface and rim marks define the grade.
(#8987)
1746 1878-S MS61 ★ NGC. This delightful double eagle carries
the NGC Star designation, an unusual occurrence on coins that
grade MS61. However, this coin deserves the designation as it has
reflective, nearly prooflike fields and brilliant luster, with trivial
marks consistent with the grade.(#8987)

Sharply Struck 1879 Double Eagle, MS61
1747 1879 MS61 PCGS. The 1879 is relatively plentiful in circulated
condition but scarce in Mint State. A solid strike manifests itself in
sharp definition on the design elements that are highlighted by the
semiprooflike fields. Numerous distributed ticks limit the grade, yet
the coin exudes considerable eye appeal. (#8988)
Scarce 1879-CC Double Eagle
1748 1879-CC PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92
suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons,
that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this
coin has the details of an XF example that has been cleaned. This
green-gold rare date Carson City twenty is hairlined and exhibits
highpoint wear, but luster glimmers from design crevices, and there
are few bagmarks. (#8989)
Attractive MS61 1879-S Double Eagle
1749 1879-S MS61 NGC. Excellent yellow-gold luster with suggestions
of wheat and champagne. Solid striking definition and strong
eye appeal despite the abrasion on Liberty’s cheek and the other
assorted marks which account for the grade. For this S-mint
issue, NGC has graded 31 numerically finer examples (1/10).
(#8991)
Impressive 1880-S Twenty, MS62 Prooflike
1750 1880-S MS62 Prooflike NGC. Full Prooflike survivors in the
Liberty double eagle series are seldom encountered, and a collection
of such coins provides a major challenge. This piece has fully
mirrored fields with scattered abrasions consistent with the grade.
This piece is the sole finest of just four Prooflike 1880-S double

Legendary 1882 Double Eagle, XF45
One of Just 571 Business Strikes
1751 1882 XF45 PCGS. No coin can be summed up in a single
number, though for the 1882 double eagle, three digits come
close: 5-7-1 * With just 571 business strike twenty dollar gold
pieces made at Philadelphia that year, the 1882 is one of the
indisputable rarities of the series, and if not for the continued
existence of the two Philadelphia 1861 Paquet coins, it
would be the key circulation-strike P-mint Liberty twenty.
Looking at the wider picture, Garrett and Guth state in their
Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins that “The 1882 is actually one
of the lowest-mintage U.S. gold coins.”
Not only was the 1882 double eagle a low-mintage
circulation issue, but it passed virtually unnoticed by collectors
at the time. Garrett and Guth note that “... very few were
saved, as most collectors at the time preferred Proof examples.”
Further, later: “there are probably fewer than 25 known in all
grades,” though that projection might be slightly low.
This honey-gold Choice XF survivor has clearly spent time
in circulation, though the wear that affects the high points
and much of the fields has left considerable reflective luster
in the protected areas. The coin’s definition, while strong, is
clearly not of a proof standard, highlighting its circulation-
strike status. Despite a number of abrasions, including marks
below Liberty’s eye and just south of star 8 on the obverse, the
overall eye appeal is considerable. Population: 4 in 45, 10 finer
(12/09). (#8996)

Conditionally Scarce 1883-S Twenty, MS63
1752 1883-S MS63 NGC. Short Squat S, one of two mintmark sizes
known for the issue. Pale apricot centers are bounded by lime-green
margins. This lustrous Select double eagle has faint grazes, but is
refreshingly free from obtrusive marks. The 1883-S is plentiful in
AU58 through MS62, yet is rare any finer, undoubtedly due to
indifferent bag shipment and storage. Census: 65 in 63, 5 finer
(12/09). (#9000)
Exceptional 1884-CC Double Eagle, MS63
1753 1884-CC MS63 PCGS. A significant number of 1884-CC double
eagles were shipped overseas for foreign trade and have since
returned to the States. Most survivors, however, are in the range of
Very Fine to MS61. MS62s are challenging to locate and MS63s,
such as the present coin, are highly elusive. PCGS and NGC have
seen none finer than MS63.
Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces are imbued with hints of light
green and a well executed strike imparts strong definition to the
design features. A few light scuffs preclude a finer grade, but this
piece shows none of the heavy abrasions, alloy spots, or grease
stains frequently encountered on representatives of the issue.
Population: 4 in 63, 0 finer (12/09). (#9001)
1754 1889-CC—Improperly Cleaned—NGC. AU Details. Light
greenish-gold surfaces are slightly brighter than desired on this
lightly cleaned Carson City twenty.(#9011)
1890 Double Eagle, MS64
Finest Grade Obtainable
1755 1890 MS64 PCGS. CAC. An amazing condition rarity, and a
scarce date outright, the 1890 double eagle is seldom encountered
in the rare coin marketplace. This near-Gem specimen is tied for
the finest that PCGS has certified. It has bold design definition
with fully brilliant and frosty orange-gold luster. While critical
examination with a magnifier reveals a few trivial blemishes that
are consistent with the grade, a first look at this piece suggest a coin
of Gem quality. Here is an amazing opportunity for the connoisseur
to acquire an example of the 1890 double eagle rarity. Population:
5 in 64, 0 finer (1/10). (#9013)
1756 1890-CC XF40 PCGS. Ample sun-yellow luster remains in the
moderately abraded fields of this Carson City twenty. A well struck
example of this popular Old West issue, housed in a green label
holder. (#9014)

Lustrous 1890-CC Twenty, MS61
1757 1890-CC MS61 NGC. Unbroken cartwheel luster invigorates
this crisply struck Carson City double eagle. Yellow-gold centers
are bounded by green-gold margins. The cheek displays moderate
contact, usual for the grade, while the fields have fewer than the
usual number of bagmarks. As are most ‘90-CC twenties, the
reverse is minutely die doubled, perhaps most evident on the R in
PLURIBUS. (#9014)
Prized MS62 1890-CC Double Eagle
1758 1890-CC MS62 PCGS. CAC. At 91,209 pieces struck, the 1890-
CC double eagle is the highest-mintage Type Three twenty dollar
issue from the Carson City Mint. Though this relatively heavy
production makes it available through most circulated grades, Mint
State examples are elusive, with MS62 coins conditionally scarce
and anything finer a rarity. This sharply struck example, lustrous
yellow-gold with a touch of wheat, is uncommonly appealing for a
coin not awarded the Select designation. Though scattered wispy
abrasions are present, only a few substantial marks are visible, with
one on Liberty’s upper hair most prominent. Population: 49 in 62,
6 finer (12/09). (#9014)
High-End MS62 1890-CC Twenty Dollar
1759 1890-CC MS62 PCGS. CAC. The mintage of the 1890-CC
would be the most plentiful through the last double eagle issues
from the fabled Carson City Mint, in 1893. The 1890-CC
production of 91,209 pieces would be followed by the incredibly
small production of 5,000 coins for the 1891-CC, and the 1892-
CC and 1893-CC emissions both would remain below the 30,000
mark. The 1890-CC is accordingly available in Mint State levels
up to the occasional near-Gem. The present coin, graded on the
reverse alone, would probably approach that level, but a few ticks
on the obverse bring the grade to MS62. The piece is nonetheless
high-end for an MS62, with reddish-gold surfaces and excellent
eye appeal. The strike is full. Population: 49 in 62, 6 finer (1/10).

Scarce 1892 Double Eagle, AU55 Details
1760 1892—Cleaned—ANACS. AU55 Details. The 1892 double
eagle, from a tiny mintage of only 4,430 business strikes, is scarce
in all grades. The luminous surfaces of this AU55 Details specimen
display attractive yellow-gold coloration imbued with whispers
of apricot, and a well executed strike delivers strong detail to
the design elements. Some faint hairlines that show under high
magnification should not dissuade the interested bidder as the
cleaning is relatively light. Scattered small contact marks do not
unduly detract. Overall, a nice looking coin. (#9019)
Elusive Choice 1892-S Twenty
1761 1892-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1892-S has returned in some
quantity from foreign bank holdings, but a sizeable majority of
such pieces display myriad abrasions and grade MS61 or MS62.
The present near-Gem is significantly nicer than the typical
Uncirculated survivor. Minor grazes are visible, but the lustrous
surfaces provide substantial eye appeal. Population: 72 in 64, 1
finer (1/10). (#9021)
Sharply Struck 1892-S Double Eagle, MS64
Important Condition Scarcity
1762 1892-S MS64 PCGS. The 1892-S double eagle can be readily
located through the MS63 level. Near-Gems are quite scarce and
are the finest most collectors will encounter. The yellow-gold
lustrous surfaces of this MS64 example exhibit sharply struck design
elements. A few minor grazes preclude Gem status. Population: 72
in 64, 1 finer (12/09). (#9021)
Marvelous MS64 1892-S Twenty
1763 1892-S MS64 NGC. This is a sharply struck and highly lustrous
example with rich honey-gold color. The surfaces are exceptional
for the grade, remarkably close in appearance to MS65 quality, and
in any event an amazing example of a San Francisco double eagle
issue that is uncommon so fine. NGC has certified a mere four
numerically finer pieces (1/10). (#9021)
Shining MS64 1893 Twenty
1764 1893 MS64 PCGS. This near-Gem is in a tie for finest example of
the issue known to PCGS (1/10). Sun-gold and peach-orange luster
enlivens each side, and the strike is uncommonly crisp at both
margins and centers. Only a single abrasion through the hair below
the coronet precludes an even finer designation. (#9022)
Choice AU 1893-CC Double Eagle
1765 1893-CC AU55 NGC. The abrupt end of operations at the
Carson City Mint in 1893 left its production of double eagles for
the year at just 18,402 pieces. This Choice AU example must have
circulated only briefly, since its lightly abraded yellow-gold surfaces
remain immensely lustrous. Great eye appeal for this popular issue.

Attractive MS63 1893-S Twenty
1766 1893-S MS63 PCGS. While several light to medium abrasions are
noted on Liberty’s cheek, the rest of the obverse and the reverse
of this Select coin are more consistent with an MS64 or better
designation. Strongly yellow-gold surfaces come alive with elements
of orange in the fields. PCGS has graded 38 finer examples (1/10).
(#9024)
High Grade 1893-S Twenty, MS64
1767 1893-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. This splendid Liberty twenty has
frosty green-gold luster with trivial grade-limiting abrasions that
are expected for the large size gold piece. Hints of rose and traces
of green add to its overall aesthetic appeal. Population: 37 in 64, 1
finer (1/10). (#9024)
1768 1894 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Here is a splendid 1894 double eagle
with frosty yellow luster and pleasing surfaces. The few marks on
each side are consistent with the grade. This issue is available at
the MS63 grade level, but scarce in higher grades. PCGS has only
certified 89 finer pieces (1/10).(#9025)
1769 1895 MS64 NGC. A frosty near-Gem, this 1895 double eagle is
seldom available any finer. NGC and PCGS have combined to
grade a mere 11 better pieces. This one has rich orange-gold patina
with faint green tones in the fields. NGC has only certified nine
finer examples of the date.(#9027)
Radiant 1897 Double Eagle, MS64
1770 1897 MS64 NGC. Radiant luster envelops the peach-gold surfaces
of this attractive near-Gem and a well executed strike delivers
strong definition to the design elements. Occasional surface and
rim marks deny the Gem level of preservation. The 1897 can
be located with relative ease through MS63; MS64 pieces are
extremely scarce, and locating finer examples is nearly impossible.
(#9031)
Near-Gem 1897-S Double Eagle
1771 1897-S MS64 NGC. CAC. Boldly impressed with rich sun-yellow
luster and distinct orange overtones. While certain other S-mint
dates of the same era are readily available for a price even in MS64,
the 1897-S is challenging at that level and distinctly rare any
finer; NGC has certified just 19 numerically superior pieces (1/10).
(#9032)
1772 1898-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. One of the more available S-mint
twenties, the 1898-S is even available in near-Gem and Gem
condition. This piece is just at the threshold of an MS65 grade.
Lovely orange-gold color has subtle accents of red and lilac
interspersed. The strike is complete. Just a few too many ticks on
Liberty’s cheek for an even higher grade.(#9034)
1773 1898-S MS64 PCGS. The base of the 89 is repunched. Sharply
struck and lustrous with lime-green and apricot toning. Minor
marks fail to threaten the original eye appeal. Since an MS65 is
valued at more than twice as much, many advanced collectors
select an MS64 example. (#9034)
Impressive Gem 1898-S Twenty
1774 1898-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. Strong wheat-gold and yellow
luster with a dot of alloy noted on the hair behind the coronet.
Attractively detailed and remarkably well-preserved for a
19th century Liberty double eagle, with only a handful of tiny
marks visible on each side. Population: 78 in 65, 2 finer (1/10).
(#9034)
Appealing 1898-S Double Eagle, MS65
1775 1898-S MS65 PCGS. The 1898-S double eagle is available in
large numbers right through the near-Gem level of preservation.
Gems are more challenging, but can be located with patience.
Finer pieces are virtually unobtainable. Whispers of light green
visit the highly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces of the present Gem
and a solid strike delivers sharp detail to the design elements. Light
grade-consistent marks do not detract from the overall eye appeal.
Population: 78 in 65, 2 finer (1/10). (#9034)

Sharp Gem 1898-S Double Eagle
1776 1898-S MS65 PCGS. A sharply struck and lovely Gem
representative of this late 19th century San Francisco issue.
The luster is strongly yellow-gold with both butter and lemon
elements. Only a handful of trifling marks preclude an even higher
designation. PCGS has graded a mere two coins finer (1/10).
(#9034)
1777 1900-S MS63 PCGS. An absolutely beautiful double eagle, this
piece has frosty yellow luster with satiny surfaces that show slight
reflectivity. The trivial surface marks are consistent with the Select
Mint State grade. (#9038)
1778 1901 MS64 NGC. A fully brilliant near-Gem, this 1901 double
eagle is an ideal candidate for the type collector, representing,
according to some, the first year of the 20th century. Both sides
have brilliant and frosty yellow luster with traces of pale blue
patina. (#9039)
Conditionally Rare 1901-S Twenty, MS65
1779 1901-S MS65 NGC. The combined population data of NGC
and PCGS reveal a total of seven coins that are certified in MS65
or finer grades. Those coins include one MS65 PCGS, one MS66
PCGS, and five MS65 NGC examples. This impressive coin has
satiny and reflective fields with rich yellow luster and hints of rose
toning. The devices are boldly defined, and all aspects of this piece
fully meet or exceed the MS65 grade assigned. A review of our
Permanent Auction Archives shows that this Gem specimen is the
first MS65 we have handled since 1993 when are archives were
first created. (#9040)
Low Mintage 1902 Twenty Dollar, MS64
1780 1902 MS64 PCGS. The 1902 double eagle saw an amazingly low
mintage of 31,140 circulation strikes. As becomes readily apparent
from inspection of PCGS/NGC population data, the issue is scarce
in all grades, and near-Gems, such as the specimen in the present
offering, are extremely rare. Lustrous peach-gold surfaces display
splashes of soft mint-green, and reveal just a few minor obverse
marks that preclude Gem classification. A uniform, sharp strike
characterizes the design elements. Encapsulated in a green label
holder. Population: 8 in 64, 1 finer (12/09). (#9041)
Original 1903 Double Eagle, MS65
1781 1903 MS65 NGC. This 20th century Liberty double eagle issue,
though not so available as its counterpart from a year later, is
nonetheless available for a price even at the MS65 level, though
anything finer is a rarity. This Gem displays rich butter-yellow
luster and a solid strike. The center-left shield shows an alloy spot
that adds character to the reverse. (#9043)
1782 1904 MS64 NGC. This frosty and lustrous near-Gem has
lovely yellow-gold brilliance with faint traces of rose and green
patina. Only a few trivial imperfections prevent a higher grade.

1783 1904 MS60 Prooflike ANACS. Fully mirrored fields on both
sides serve to frame the satiny devices on this lovely piece. At arm’s
length, it looks like a proof. Only upon closer inspection to the
business strike characteristics become obvious. An impressive and
attractive double eagle.(#79045)
1784 1904-S MS64 PCGS. Strongly struck with vibrant yellow-gold
luster. This near-Gem shows only a handful of grade-defining
abrasions, though several appear on Liberty’s cheek and neck.
(#9046)
1785 1904-S MS64 PCGS. Strong yellow-orange luster with occasional
peach peripheral overtones. Strong definition with light abrasions
across Liberty’s cheek and a trio of reed marks just above star
13. (#9046)
Popular Gem 1904-S Double Eagle
1786 1904-S MS65 PCGS. Outstanding honey-gold coloration with
profound cartwheel luster and occasional suggestions of lavender-
silver near the rims. Well struck at the margins with even better
central definition. A few tiny marks on the portrait are consistent
with the grade. PCGS has certified only two finer examples (1/10).
(#9046)
Pleasing MS62 1905 Twenty
1787 1905 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Vibrant yellow-orange color with
strong, slightly satiny luster and an assortment of mild abrasions. In
contrast to the mammoth mintage of double eagles at Philadelphia
just a year before, 1905 saw only five-figure production of the
denomination there. Few coins of Select and better quality survive,
and PCGS has graded only 52 such pieces (1/10). (#9047)
Appealing MS62 1905 Double Eagle
1788 1905 MS62 NGC. The 1904 output of millions of double eagles
must have left a glut at Philadelphia, since the next year saw just
a five-figure mintage of the denomination there. This example has
effusive yellow-gold luster and strong central definition. A few
alloy flecks at the peripheral obverse and into the portrait lend the
coin an aura of originality. (#9047)
Sharply Struck 1905 Select Double Eagle
1789 1905 MS63 PCGS. The low-mintage 1905 double eagle (58,919
circulation strikes) is most often found in About Uncirculated to
MS62 grades. Select examples are very scarce and finer specimens
are extremely rare. Intense luster endows both sides of this MS63
coin and a decisive strike imparts strong definition to the design
elements, including the borders, areas that are sometimes flat on
the denticles, especially those on the obverse (Michael Fuljenz and
Douglas Winter, 1999, p. 160). Yellow-gold surfaces are tinted with
wisps of light green and apricot, occasionally joined on the reverse
margins with sky-blue. A few scattered, inoffensive marks limit the
grade. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 42 in 63, 9 finer
(12/09). (#9047)
1905-S Twenty, MS63
1790 1905-S MS63 NGC. While its S-mint counterpart from a year
earlier is readily available in Select Mint State, the 1905-S is
considerably more elusive, if not rare. With its solid detail and light
yellow-gold surfaces marked by occasional suggestions of alloy, this
example offers both beauty and originality. (#9048)

Outstanding 1906 Liberty Twenty, MS65
1791 1906 MS65 PCGS. The 1906 Liberty double eagle is an elusive
issue in all grades, from a limited mintage of only 69,596 coins.
Survivors are infrequently seen in the market place, and the
majority of those found in recent years have been imported from
overseas, having been exported shortly after they were minted.
This Gem is housed in a green label PCGS holder and possesses
outstanding aesthetic appeal. The connoisseur will appreciate the
exacting strike, the brilliant and frosty luster, and the splendid
lemon-yellow surfaces with considerable olive and traces of
iridescent toning. Population: 9 in 65, 1 finer (1/10). (#9049)
Lovely MS64 1907-S Twenty
1792 1907-S MS64 NGC. A bright Choice coin from the last year
of the Longacre Liberty design, pale wheat-gold with impressive
luster. The central devices are strongly defined, and only a few
shallow luster grazes and small abrasions keep the piece from
Gem status. NGC has graded 13 numerically finer pieces (1/10).

HIGH RELIEF DOUBLE EAGLES
Unusual 1907 High Relief, XF Details
1793 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim—Damaged, Rim Filed—NCS. XF
Details. The surfaces appear to have been intentionally damaged
by a process that places a number of coins in a bag, vigorously
shaking the bag, and then collecting the tiny pieces of gold that
were knocked off by the shaking. This explanation would be
consistent with the filing also seen on the rim whose intent was to
remove small, but salable amounts of gold from the coin. The piece
appears to be slightly circulated also. A highly unusual High Relief.

the expense of a full Mint State example. (#9135)

Ever-Popular 1907 High Relief Twenty
Wire Rim, MS62
1796 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim MS62 PCGS. He took his French
surname from his father, but Augustus Saint-Gaudens was the son of
an Irish mother, and it was from Ireland that the couple emigrated.
They arrived in New York City when Augustus was an infant,
making the artist an “immigrant success story” even though he was
raised in the United States. His noble effigy of Liberty standing
tall, as seen on the High Relief double eagle, combines the best
of American and European mainstream art as it was known at the
time. This example of the Saint-Gaudens High Relief design offers
strong yellow-gold luster with a measure of patina settled over the
concave fields. Both obverse and reverse show strong wire rims. Few
marks for the grade, though Liberty’s gown and knee are affected.
From The South Texas Collection. (#9135)
Upper-End MS64 1907 High Relief Twenty
1797 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim MS64 PCGS. CAC. The works
of Augustus Saint-Gaudens marked a turning point in America’s
perception of sculpture in the late nineteenth century. Formerly
sculpture had been created for public spaces and for a few select,
wealthy patrons. Saint-Gaudens’ sculptural works were intended
for the general public, and his ten and twenty dollar gold pieces
are a further extension of this populist sentiment. Saint-Gaudens
and the other sculptors and painters in the so-called Gilded Age,
were familiar with Classical art, but they simplified their art,
which resulted in a moral tone more suited to America. This gave
American art a more cosmopolitan style than previously seen from
its artists. More than a hundred years after Saint-Gaudens’ death,
these coins are by far the best known of all his works, and the
cosmopolitan composition of his coins are an enduring legacy to
this giant 19th century sculptor.
This is an exceptional, high-end example that has thick, satiny
mint luster on each side. The surfaces are free from any detracting
contact marks, and both sides are bright yellow-gold with just a
tinge of reddish patina. (#9135)
1798 1907 High Relief, Flat Rim—Filed Rims—PCGS Genuine. This
example has AU Details, and will prove to be an affordable piece
for the collector who has always wanted a High Relief twenty.
The rims are filed with additional surface marks and hairlines that
remain from cleaning.(#9136)

1803 1907 Arabic Numerals MS65 NGC. Here is a splendid Gem
1907 Saint-Gaudens double eagle, the third design modification

Shining No Motto 1908 Twenty
1799 1907 High Relief, Flat Rim MS63 NGC. CAC. NGC calls this
a Flat Rim, seemingly more based on attempt than success, since
even in the rim-obscuring holder evidence of a fin remains at parts
of both obverse and reverse. (The fin, regarded as a minting defect
in its time, is now seen as part of the High Relief twenties’ historic
charm.) Closer to the centers, the warmly lustrous yellow-gold
surfaces show only a handful of significant marks, most noticeably
a line at the tips of the rays to the light of Liberty. Contact at the
knee is also of potential interest. As always, boldly struck and
immensely evocative, a milestone of U.S. coinage.

1908-D No Motto Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a rather plentiful
issue, it is extremely difficult to locate in Premium Gem condition
like this piece. NGC has only certified five of these in MS66,
and PCGS has certified nine pieces, with none finer at either
service (1/10). Just 14 collectors can acquire an MS66, assuming
no resubmissions are included in those figures. This Premium Gem
is frosty and brilliant with beautiful honey-gold luster and pristine
surfaces. All design motifs are boldly defined, including a sharp
skyline at the lower left obverse. Here is a remarkable coin and an
extraordinary opportunity. (#9143)
1808 1908 Motto MS62 PCGS. Whispers of mint-green visit apricot-
gold surfaces, mostly around the obverse margins of this well struck
twenty. Distributed light contact marks occur over each side.
(#9147)
1809 1908 Motto MS63 NGC. Each side of this Select twenty dollar
is awash in yellow-gold luster and is sharply struck, including the
panes on the Capitol building, the fingers on Liberty’s branch
hand, and the eagle’s plumage. The surfaces have a frosty finish and
are minimally abraded. (#9147)
1810 1908 Motto MS63 PCGS. Strong and slightly glossy luster
dominates the eye appeal of this With Motto twenty. Rich yellow-
gold and straw colors prevail on both sides. Slight die erosion is
visible at the margins.(#9147)
1811 1908-D Motto MS64 PCGS. This lustrous yellow-gold near-Gem
is well impressed. Light surface and rim marks preclude Gem status.

Desirable 1909 Twenty, MS65
1812 1909 MS65 PCGS. Here is an elusive issue in the Saint-Gaudens
series, known from overdate and normal date obverse dies. This
1909 twenty is one of the rare dates in the Saint-Gaudens series.
In fact, it is believed that the Normal Date variety is slightly
scarcer than the Overdate, although both are extremely rare in
Gem MS65 or finer grades. Since 1993 we have offered 15 MS65
or finer examples of the 1909 Normal Date twenty, compared to
18 similarly graded examples of the 1909 over 8 Overdate double
eagle. This frosty Gem has gorgeous green-gold luster with traces of
pale orange toning. It is sharply defined with excellent eye appeal.
Here is an important opportunity for the advanced collection.
Population: 21 in 65, 7 finer (1/10). (#9150)
1813 1909/8 AU58 NGC. LS-301. This popular overdate near-Mint
State representative displays bright yellow-gold surfaces with well
defined design motifs. The few light marks scattered about do not
detract from the coin’s overall appeal. (#9151)

Lustrous MS62 1909-D Twenty
1814 1909-D MS62 PCGS. Rich gold-orange color appears at narrow
borders, while the centers are pale straw-gold with two prominent
alloy streaks on the eagle’s head and wings. Lustrous with scattered
light abrasions, including a significant mark just below the stem
of the olive branch. The 1909-D is a challenging issue, with just
52,500 pieces produced. (#9152)
Popular 1911-D/D Double Eagle, MS65
1819 1911-D/D MS65 PCGS. FS-501, formerly FS-1911.5. This
Cherrypickers’ Guide variety is prominent and popular, with a
strong undermintmark to the east of the final punch. This is a
great Gem example, strongly yellow-gold with undercurrents of
green and pleasing luster. For coins specifically certified as FS-501,
Population: 47 in 65, 13 finer (1/10). (#145010)
1815 1909-S MS64 NGC. Double eagles dated 1909 are scarce or rare
from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, with only those from San
Francisco making candidates for type collections, or one-per-year
collections. This piece has pleasing yellow luster with excellent eye
appeal.
A hardwood case accompanies this lot, identifying it as a “Florida Hoard
Double Eagle.” The interior of the case has a place for the coin in its
NGC holder, and also has a Medallic Art Company gold plated silver
plaque of Augustus Saint-Gaudens (46 mm x 63 mm). Additional
documents are also included. (#9153)
1816 1909-S MS64 NGC. Attractive luster issues from the peach-gold
surfaces of this near-Gem twenty and a decisive strike sharpens the
devices, including the Capitol building, Liberty’s fingers, and the
eagle’s plumage. Scattered minuscule marks prevent the attainment
of MS65.

Shining Gem 1910-S Twenty
1817 1910-S MS65 NGC. Gold-orange overtones visit the central
obverse, while the rest of this lustrous coin is closer to yellow.
Minor peripheral striking softness generally corrects itself toward
the centers. A great example of this little-saved and potentially
underrated San Francisco issue. Census: 63 in 65, 8 finer (1/10).
(#9156)
1818 1911-D MS65 NGC. CAC. This fully struck Gem has fields that
display a pronounced matte-like texture. Bright, satiny mint luster
covers both sides. An outstanding example of this popular, early
Saint-Gaudens twenty.(#9158)
Gem 1911-D/D Saint-Gaudens Twenty
1820 1911-D/D MS65 PCGS. FS-501, formerly FS-1911.5. This
prominent and important overmintmark is increasingly popular,
particularly among those who collect by the Cherrypickers’ Guide.
The present Gem example offers strong yellow-gold luster with
gray and wheat accents. The tops of the eagle’s wings show a few
light but grade-defining abrasions. (#145010)
1911-D/D Double Eagle, MS65
1821 1911-D/D MS65 PCGS. FS-501, formerly FS-1911.5. A shining
Gem representative of this repunched mintmark variety, which has
grown in popularity since its inclusion in the Cherrypickers’ Guide.
Bold sun-yellow luster dominates the eye appeal, supplemented
by a strong strike and the careful preservation of the surfaces.

Outstanding MS66 1911-D/D Twenty
1822 1911-D/D MS66 PCGS. FS-501, formerly FS-1911.5. A
remarkable high grade example of this readily available Saint'
Gaudens issue. Both sides are uncommonly devoid of marks, and
the lustrous khaki-gold fields and devices deliver exceptional eye
appeal. Not to be missed by the alert specialist. Population: 13 in
66, 0 finer (1/10). (#145010)
1823 1911 -S MS64 PCGS. Strong frosty-satiny luster dominates the eye
appeal of this well struck Premium Gem. The orange-kissed butter-
yellow surfaces show few marks in the fields, though a handful
of abrasions on the figure of Liberty preclude a finer designation.
(#9159)
Scintillating Choice 1912 Double Eagle
1824 1912 MS64 PCGS. The rich pumpkin-orange centers are
surrounded by green-gold margins. Booming luster sweeps the
moderately marked surfaces. A lower mintage issue, despite the
absence of branch mint production in 1912. PCGS and NGC
combined have certified a scant 53 pieces in higher grades (1/10).
(#9160)
Sharply Struck 1914-D Gem Double Eagle
1825 1914-D MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1914-D double eagle is a
common date through MS65. Radiant luster emanates from both
sides of this Gem, each of which possesses attractive peach-gold
coloration. Sharply struck, including strong definition on the
Capitol building, Liberty’s fingers, and the eagle’s plumage. A few
trivial marks are unbothersome. (#9165)
Pleasing 1914-D Double Eagle, MS66
1826 1914-D MS66 PCGS. Enough 1914'D double eagles survived
the meltings to be able to satisfy current collector demand. That
said, Premium Gems such as the present offering will take some
searching and patience. Lustrous surfaces exhibit sharply struck
design motifs and are well preserved. The few minor marks on the
reverse sun, while mentioned for complete accuracy, do not detract
from the coin’s pleasing overall eye appeal. Population: 56 in 66, 1
finer (1/10). (#9165)
Impressive 1915 Twenty, MS65
1827 1915 MS65 PCGS. The 1915 is a scarce, low-mintage issue
with a production of just 152,050 coins during the year. Examples
are frequently available in lower Mint State grades, but they are
extremely rare in Gem condition. This remarkable piece has a
bold strike including a nearly full skyline at the lower left obverse.
The surfaces are brilliant with satiny yellow luster, and have only
a few minor marks that prevent a higher grade. Here is an amazing
opportunity to acquire a piece that is tied for the finest PCGS has
graded. Population: 36 in 65, 0 finer (1/10). (#9167)

1828 1915-S MS65 NGC. A sharply struck, Gem example of this
scarcer date in the teens that poses a challenge any finer than
MS65. Excellent luster characteristics with lovely, bright golden-
orange color. A couple of small marks are seen on Liberty’s figure.
(#9168)
Underrated 1916-S Double Eagle, MS65
1829 1916-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1916^S was very scarce until
1983 when a large South American hoard inflated the Mint State
population. Radiant luster on this Gem complements well struck
design motifs and attractive yellow-gold nicely preserved surfaces.
Pleasing overall eye appeal as recognized by CAC. (#9169)
Gem 1922 Double Eagle
1830 1922 MS65 PCGS. The 1922 is one of the most plentiful issues
in the entire Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. That said, MS65
is the finest one can expect to locate; higher grade pieces are nearly
nonexistent. The present Gem offering displays pleasing luster and
well struck yellow-gold surfaces. Some grade-consistent marks are
unimportant. (#9173)
Appealing 1922 Twenty, MS65
1831 1922 MS65 NGC. Delightful light yellow surfaces with brilliant
satin luster, this Gem is boldly defined and possesses excellent
aesthetic appeal. It is desirable for its overall quality. A Gem MS65
1922 twenty is about all that any collector could hope to acquire.
NGC and PCGS have only certified seven and eight better pieces,
respectively. (#9173)
Popular Gem 1922 Double Eagle
1832 1922 MS65 PCGS. Prominent orange overtones grace otherwise
wheat-gold surfaces on this strongly lustrous Gem. Well-defined on
the obverse considering the advanced state of that die, as evidenced
by a crack through the letters of LIBERTY. Rare any finer; PCGS
has certified only seven such pieces (1/10). (#9173)
Bright 1922-S Twenty, MS62
1833 1922-S MS62 NGC. The design elements are generally well
defined, and lavish luster gives this piece a flashy, radiant
appearance. A few moderate marks on the obverse and scattered
trivial marks on the reverse limit the grade of this otherwise alluring
representative. According to Garrett and Guth: “This is a date that
suffered tremendously from the massive meltings of gold coins in
the 1930s.” (#9174)
Lustrous 1922-S Twenty Dollar, MS64
1834 1922-S MS64 PCGS. Relatively few 1922-S double eagles have
survived to the present day. Near-Gems, such as the example in the
current lot, can only be located with diligent searching, and finer
pieces are elusive. Yellow-gold luster endows both sides, each of
which exhibits sharply struck design features. Scattered light marks
limit the grade. (#9174)

Well Struck 1923 Gem Double Eagle
1835 1923 MS65 PCGS. The 1923 is abundantly available through the
near-Gem level of preservation. Gems such as the present example
can also be located with patience and searching, but higher-grade
specimens are very elusive. Honey-gold lustrous surfaces exhibit
well struck devices. Faint die cracks are visible on the reverse sun.
(#9175)
Bright 1923 Gem Double Eagle
1836 1923 MS65 PCGS. Numerous 1923 double eagles managed to
survive the mass meltings of the 1930s in overseas hoards to offer
collectors a wide choice in various grades. MS65 pieces can be
modestly challenging, but finer examples are virtually nonexistent.
Bright peach-gold luster enlivens this Gem, and the only area of
weakness occurs on the Capitol building. A few grade-consistent
marks are visible. (#9175)
1837 1924 MS65 NGC. Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit well
struck design features, including Liberty’s fingers, the panes of the
Capitol building, and the eagle’s plumage. A few light marks deny
Gem status.(#9177)
1924 Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS6 7
A True Upper-End Coin
1838 1924 MS67 NGC. CAC. Certainly nothing can be said about
the rarity of the 1924 twenty. What sets this coin apart and makes
it worth viewing and bidding on is the exceptional quality. It is
well-balanced from side to side with pleasing, satiny luster that is
uninterrupted by the abrasions that are usually seen even on Gem
Saints. One can almost count the marks on this piece, but a strong
magnifier would be required. The color is primarily orange-gold
with faint traces of red interspersed, and the strike is complete in
all areas. Want a finer one? Only three have been graded, two at
NGC and one at PCGS (1/10). (#9177)
Important 1924-S Double Eagle, MS64
1839 1924-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. Light greenish-gold surfaces with
brilliant and frosty yellow luster characterize this amazing 1924-S
twenty, an important rarity despite a mintage of almost 3 million
coins. Like most of the mintmarked issues of the 1920s, these coins
were struck but never released, with large quantities melted in the
following decade. This example is a lovely near-Gem with only a
few trivial surface marks that prevent a higher grade. Here is an
extremely important opportunity for the advanced Saint-Gaudens
double eagle collector to obtain this important issue. Population:
95 in 64, 3 finer (1/10). (#9179)
1840 1925 MS65 PCGS. The highly lustrous surfaces are beautifully
toned in orange, mint-green, lilac, and rose, and the design
elements are crisply impressed. A squiggly scratch is visible on the
upper reverse. (#9180)

Attractive 1925-S Select Twenty Dollar
1841 1925-S MS63 PCGS. The nearly 4 million-piece mintage of the
1925-S twenty dollar cannot be used as an indicator of its survival
rate as most coins were melted in 1937 or later. Fewer than 600
examples are believed known today in all grades, making it one of
the major rarities in the Saint-Gaudens series.
Both sides of this Select specimen are attractively patinated
in peach-gold imbued with traces of mint-green and lavender.
Lustrous surfaces yield a frosty finish and well struck design features,
including the 5 in the date, a digit that is often weak. Scattered
marks, the most noticeable a milling mark above the shoulder of
the branch arm, barely preclude the attainment of a higher grade.
Population: 79 in 63, 25 finer (1/10). (#9182)
1842 1926-S—Improperly Cleaned—NCS. Unc Details. This later
S-mint double eagle shows no trace of wear, though scattered
hairlines and disturbed luster suggest a past cleaning. Deep peach
and green alloy at the upper obverse contrasts with the yellow-gold
present elsewhere. (#9185)
1843 1927 MS64 NGC. The radiantly lustrous surfaces of this near-

Impressive Gem 1929 Double Eagle
Ex: Morse
1844 1929 MS65 PCGS. The 1929 opens the final segment of the
Saint-Gaudens double eagle series, and every issue from this
year through 1933 faced near-annihilation during the gold
recall of the Roosevelt Administration. While the 1929 is the
least rare of this group—some have gone as far as to suggest
that the 1929 should be classified in a separate and lesser tier
of rarity from its peers—it is still a coveted key date whose
appearance at auction is an occasion of note among specialists.
MS65 pieces are rare, with only 26 pieces graded by both
services, and a mere six coins finer (12/09).
As we also previously wrote, the typical 1929, with its
generally sharp strike and fully lustrous and frosty surfaces,
exudes considerable eye appeal. The example we offer in this
lot fits that bill perfectly. All of the design elements are sharply
delineated, though minor softness is noted on portions of
the Capitol dome. The frosty surfaces exhibit vibrant luster
and are toned in variegated yellow, peach, orange-gold, and
lime-green. The surfaces are well preserved, although a few
minor marks on Liberty’s head and left leg are mentioned for
accuracy. While this issue often contains copper stains, only
one tiny spot is located beneath the eagle’s neck. All in all, this
is an immensely appealing Gem.

Series-Key 1931-D Twenty, MS64
1845 1931-D MS64 PCGS. CAC. Certain issues, especially in the
double eagle series, have experienced a sudden and unexpected
availability. Type One twenties were formerly almost
unobtainable in mint condition, and now several dates are
available in grades through MS66. This, of course, is because
of the salvage of gold-laden ships from California. It is highly
unlikely that any such “guardian angel” exists for the 1931-D
twenty. The 100-150 pieces believed known are most likely to
be the only ones that will ever be available to collectors.
Among collectors of this series, the conditional availability
of such rarities as the 1931-D is seldom discussed. Those who
specialize in this series are generally happy with any 1931-D
that is available and that they can afford. But here is something
to consider regarding this piece: Several dozen pieces have been
certified in MS64; in fact, a total of 60 submission events when
one combines both of the major services. Above this level, only
15 pieces have been graded. Therefore, the savvy collector would
most likely regard a high-end MS64 as the best value. That is
just what this piece is. Examination of the clean surfaces shows
that, and it is also confirmed by the CAC endorsement.
To the unaided eye, there is only one mark on each side
that keeps this magnificent piece from the Gem category. On
the obverse there is a horizontal mark across Liberty’s upper
thigh, and on the reverse one diagonal abrasion is seen on the
wing of the eagle. The devices are fully struck throughout, and
the mint luster is bright and satiny with a pronounced reddish
tinge. Population: 39 in 64, 18 finer (12/09). (#9193)

NGC. K-24, R.3. The first circulating gold dollar in the United
States was privately coined by the Bechtler family, initially in
North Carolina and later in Georgia. Kagin-24 is always available
at a price, but many examples are impaired. This near-Mint piece
has bright sun-gold luster throughout the legends. The open fields
are toned orange. A few minor marks are consistent with brief
circulation. Housed in a former generation holder, and listed on

128 G, 22 C, AU50
1849 (1837-42) A. Bechtler Five Dollar, 128G. 22C. AU50 NGC.
K-28, R.6. This five dollar piece was at one time considered among
the rarest of the Bechtler issues, ranked as R.8—’’unique or nearly
so”— in Kagin’s reference. The coin says CAROLINA GOLD
rather than GEORGIA GOLD as on the more common K-23 five
dollar piece, and A. BECHTLER rather than C. BECHTLER.
The 128G. 22C. is in the center of the obverse. In the more than
25 years since Kagin published his reference, more coins have
surfaced, though the variety remains very rare.
The outer devices are softly struck on both obverse and reverse.
We have not seen enough of these to know if this is common to
all K-28 pieces. But the coin may be most easily graded by the
remaining prooflikeness that surrounds the lettering. A “pinched”
appearance is seen on the obverse rim at 3 and 9 o’clock, a striking
defect of unknown origin. The yellow-gold surfaces have taken
on just the slightest accent of reddish patina, and there are no
mentionable post-striking defects. Listed on page 360 of the 2010

The Clark, Gruber coins are the predecessors of the Denver Mint
coinage that began in 1906. In fact, the Treasury acquired the
Clark, Gruber facilities and ran an assay office throughout the late
19th century prior to the opening of the Denver Mint. This piece
has lovely green-gold surfaces, light orange toning, satiny luster,
and exceptional aesthetic appeal. Here is a great opportunity to
acquire a piece of Colorado history. Population: 6 in 55, 9 finer

VF Sharpness 1851 Humbert Fifty
887 Thous., 50 Reverse
1852 1851 Humbert Fifty Dollar, 887 Thous. 50 Rev.—Tooled—
NGC. VF Details. A moderately worn, extensively tooled or
re-engraved example of the famed Humbert fifty dollar octagonal
family. The 887 fineness appears to be reengraved, as does the 50 at
the bottom of the obverse. The eagle is almost entirely reengraved,
as are many of the letters. The central 50 on the reverse appears
to be reengraved, as does the border around the entire coin. All
of the tooling work, which was done with a steady hand, makes
attribution extremely difficult. It appears that this is an example
of Kagin-4, with the reverse reengraved to resemble the Kagin-3
design. (#10208)
Historical 1852/1 K-8 Humbert Ten, VF30
1853 1852/1 Humbert Ten Dollar VF30 PCGS. K-8, R.4. It seems
that Augustus Humbert planned smaller denomination gold pieces
in 1851, as evidence by this overdate. As operations began, only
$50 pieces were produced in the earlier year, with 10 and 20 dollar
gold coins struck in 1852 and 1853. This rich green-gold example
has traces of iridescent toning with pleasing surfaces for the grade.
Population: 5 in 30, 34 finer (1/10). (#10190)
Near-Mint K-10 1852 Humbert Ten Dollar
1854 1852 Humbert Ten Dollar AU58 NGC. K-10, Low R.4. While
the obverse shows a measure of rim crumbling, the reverse rim is
essentially intact, and the die break that defines the K-lOa variety
is not present. Though traces of friction are visible on the high
points of this faintly green-gold piece, considerable luster remains,
giving the coin a faintly prooflike aura. A handful of tiny abrasions
scattered on each side scarcely affect the visual appeal of this
historic Augustus Humbert coin. Listed on page 365 of the 2010

Small Head, K-3, VF25
John L. Moffat in later years.
1856 1852 Wass Molitor Ten Dollar, Small Head VF25 PCGS.
CAC. K-3, R.6. All varieties of the 1852 Wass Molitor ten dollar
gold piece are rare in an absolute sense; at an R.6, the K-3 is
not so elusive as the K-5, or “Small Closed Date,” but it is more
challenging than the K-4, with its “Large Head, Wide Date.”
This midrange example, housed in a green label holder, offers
considerable radiance despite moderate wear over each side.
Soft striking definition is not uncommon for the issue, while the
scattered abrasions on the portrait and in the surrounding fields
affect the technical grade, they also lend the coin a sense of history.

1857 55.05-Ounce Harris Marchand Gold Ingot. Recovered from the S.S. Central America. CAGB-135, serial number 6526. 55.05 ounces,
875 fineness, stamped value $995.73. From Q. David Bowers, A California Gold Rush History: “Large size ingot. All inscriptions on face with
bar horizontally oriented. $ leans sharply left. Reverse finessed or dressed by tapping.”
The inimitable California Coiners and Assayers, by Dan Owens, compiles a wide range of primary documents, such as newspaper
commentaries or court records, to present a portrait of its subjects and the firms they created. From his simple introduction, “H. Harris,
D.C. Marchand & C.L. Farrington formed an assaying partnership in Sacramento,” a wealth of detail emerges.
They described themselves in an advertisement in the October 4, 1855 edition of the Sacramento Union as follows:
“Harris, Marchand & Co., Assay Office, 107 ] Street, between Fourth and Fifth, Sacramento.
“H. Harris, Melter and Refiner, formerly employed in the U.S. Mints at New Orleans and
San Francisco, and in the assay offices of Kellogg & Co., and Justh & Hunter, San Francisco.
“D. Marchand, Assayer, passed his examination at the Mint of Paris, and holds a private stamp, there
registered, which makes his bars recognized and merchantable in France.
“C.L. Farrington, Treasurer, late in the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co.
“Gold and ores of every description assayed promptly and faithfully, and returns made within from 6 to
24 hours in bars or coin.
“We guarantee our assays and will pay all differences that may arise in the same with the assays of the
United States Mints.
“Spanish, French, English, German, Swedish, and Danish languages spoken in the office.”
[The advertisement continues with a list of references.]
From this advertisement emerges an image of a remarkable firm. Harvey Harris, a Danish national then in his early 40s, had previously
worked for Justh & Hunter and Kellogg & Co., both of which were associated (the latter as Kellogg & Humbert) with assayers of gold
ingots also found in the S.S. Central America treasure.
Desire Charles Marchand, a French-speaking Belgian (and later naturalized American) whose credentials from the Mint of Paris are
mentioned in the advertisement, was extremely young at the formation of the firm; varying accounts are given of his date of birth, but in
no case could he have been so old as 20 at the time of the advertisement, and might have been as young as 16. This exceedingly young age
could explain why Marchand cited his credentials as opposed to his (possibly nonexistent) work experience.
Charles L. Farrington, the “& Co.” of the firm, was an American from the state of Maine, but little else is written about him in California
Coiners & Assayers, except to note that he “retired from the firm” per a Sacramento Union item dated May 30, 1857. The reason is not
listed, though age is a distinct possibility. The firm continued without him as Harris & Marchand Assayers.
Though the firm Harris, Marchand & Co. did not last into June 1857, the gold bars stamped that way did, and three dozen bars from the
Sacramento office received an unexpected gift of numismatic immortality: they were loaded onto the S.S. Central America, and instead
of going to New York to be melted down, they landed at the bottom of the ocean, and over the course of more than a century, they
transformed into historic treasures.
Like the majority of known Harris, Marchand & Co. ingots, this example shows irregular punching on the serial number, weight, fineness,
and value. The arcing HARRIS MARCHAND & CO imprint and circular MARCHAND / ESSAYEUR stamp, however, are precise
and elegant as ever. The ingot’s surfaces are bright yellow-gold with the usual casting irregularities on most faces, though the bottom is
smoother than usually seen (as referenced by Bowers). Corner cuts are at the upper left of the top face and its absolute diagonal opposite.
The ingot measures 42 x 112 x 20 mm.

Small to Medium Size 23-Ounce Justh & Hunter
Gold Ingot from the S.S. Central America
1858 Small to Medium Size Justh & Hunter Gold Ingot. CAGB--
352. Q. David Bowers, in his A California Gold Rush History,
offers general notes about the Justh & Hunter ingots recovered
from the S.S. Central America, including two key observations.
First, “Surfaces often irregular, particularly on the reverse.”
Second, “Some ingots from San Francisco [assay office] have
part of the serial number, the last two digits, repeated on the
reverse.” Both are true in the case of this ingot, a small to
medium-sized example in the Bowers scale.
All faces show considerable irregularities, with the top face
surprising by showing the most irregularities of all. Through
the valleys, the punched information from top to bottom: NO.
4341 / [arcing Justh & Hunter imprint] / 23.00 OZ / 890 FINE.
/ $423.15 [in 1857 terms].
Corner cuts at the upper right of the top face and its
diagonal opposite; both corner cuts show rust stains, as does
the bottom face, in and near the hollow from the ingot^casting
process. This rust is prone to flaking, and appears to have
done so within the plastic holder. As noted above, the digits
41 appear at the upper right part of the bottom face, a San
Francisco office characteristic for Justh & Hunter ingots. The
ingot measures 43 x 61 x 16 mm.
At just 23 ounces, this ingot is accessible to a variety of
collectors and researchers, and the Justh & Hunter imprint
also falls in a “sweet spot” of sorts, not so elusive as to be
inaccessible, but at the same time it is not so broadly available
as the Kellogg & Humbert ingots. In sum, it is a prize for the
tasteful California gold collector.

Medium-Size Kellogg & Humbert Gold Ingot
Salvaged from the S.S. Central America
1859 38.76 Ounce Kellogg & Humbert Gold Ingot. CAGB-635.
Mold K&H-02, per A California Gold Rush History by Q. David
Bowers. Recovered from the S.S. Central America, information
on the top face: No. 838 / 38.76 oz. / 892 fine / $714.70 (in 1857
value). Bowers notes the ingot’s unusual dimensions, calling it
“Thick, almost cubic.” On this small and compact ingot, the
assayer’s imprint is visible on the north face relative to the
main information, while the bottom face repeats the serial
number just above a prominent hollow from the ingot-making
process. Corner-cuts are at the bottom right of the information
face and its exact opposite. Medium size, falling just below the
40-ounce cutoff for medium-to-large set by Bowers.
Recent Heritage auctions have brought a number of sizable
S.S. Central America gold ingots to the market, including
several massive ingots weighing in at over 100 ounces in the
recent January 2010 FUN Auction. On the other hand, smaller
ingots such as this Kellogg & Humbert example or the 23-ounce
Justh & Hunter ingot also in this catalog also have an esteemed
place in the collecting community, providing opportunities for
Old West enthusiasts with a passion for assayer ingots but not
necessarily the desire to own a massive “brick” of California
gold. This Kellogg & Humbert representative, though small
enough to rest on the palm of one’s hand, is weighty atop
it—and the weight of its history is even greater. The ingot
measures 41 x 51 x 30 mm.

Medium to Large Size Kellogg & Humbert
Gold Ingot, Ex: S.S. Central America
1860 48.65 Ounce Kellogg & Humbert Gold Ingot. Kellogg &
Humbert Assayers, serial number 947, 48.65 oz, 780 fineness,
$784.43 face value. Medium to large size, per the classification
system by Q. David Bowers in his A California Gold Rush History.
Bowers devotes a solid paragraph to the unusual characteristics
of this ingot (italics his):
“Inscriptions on face. 48 in weight double punched. Fine¬
ness first punched as 87, then corrected to 78 ($784.42),
with erroneous under digits still visible. $ sign high, leans
right, and touches upper left of 7. Vertically oriented.
Reverse stamped with repetition of serial number, but in
different font. One of the most amateurishly punched of
the many Kellogg & Humbert ingots.”
The top face also shows numerous air bubbles and weakness
on the “Kellogg & Humbert Assayers” stamp. Bowers does allow,
however, that the S.S. Central America ingots’ individuality is
core to their appeal, noting that “[s]uch idiosyncrasies make
them fascinating to study.”
Beyond the air bubbles, this ingot has a distinctive overall
appearance. While most ingots show a measure of rust staining
on one or more faces, this pieces’ surfaces are bright yellow,
with evidence of rust and other dark stains virtually nil. There
is a milky area is present over the “78” of 780 FINE. Corner cuts
are visible at the bottom right comer of the top face (relative to
the punches) and its diagonal opposite on the bottom face. In
sum, an attractive and distinctive example of the medium-to-
large class of Kellogg &l Humbert gold ingots found on the S.S.
Central America. The ingot measures 42 x 98 x 22 mm.

S.S.C.A. RELIC GOLD MEDALS
1861 1855 SSCA Relic Gold Medal “1855 Kellogg & Co. Fifty” Gem
Proof PCGS. Struck August 20, 2001. An earlier example of this
“commemorative restrike,” minted in metal from S.S. Central
America ingots. Restrike only; box, papers, etc. not included.
(#10358)
1862 2008 SSCA “Humbert Commemorative” Gem Proof NGC. #61 of

2008, missing the sesquicentennial of the sinking by a single year.
The design is similar to Kagin-11, but the reverse has a rectangular
area with an inscription that states its recent production.
CALIEORNIA ERACTIONAL GOLD
1863 1853 Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-101, Low R.5, MS64
PCGS. Yellow-gold lustrous surfaces display occasional splashes of
bluish-purple at the margins of this near-Gem. Well struck for the
issue, except for the usual softness in the 8 of the date. Devoid of
mentionable marks. This is the single finest certified of the BG-101
variety. Population: 1 in 64, 0 finer (12/09).(#10370)
1864 1854 Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-105, R.3, MS65 Proof like
NGC. This absolutely gorgeous Period One gold 25 cent piece has
fully prooflike surfaces and lovely cameo contrast. A remarkable
survivor, and nearly as nice as any we have seen. Census: 10 in 65
Prooflike, 4 finer (1/10). (#10374)
1865 1855 Liberty Round 25 Cents, BG-225, Low R.7, MS62 PCGS.
The formidable rarity of BG-225 is undoubtedly due to its many die
cracks, especially the heavy crack between Liberty’s ear and the
rim at 7 o’clock. This peach-gold Period One round quarter has a
few thin marks on the left obverse, and these are all that limit the
grade. Population: 3 in 62, 5 finer (12/09).(#10410)
1866 1853 Peacock Reverse 50 Cents, BG-302, Low R.4, AU58
PCGS. Those are glory rays above the eagle’s back, and the tail
is obvious beneath the arrow. Yet the “Peacock” nickname has
stuck, and it remains among the most coveted types within the
Period One series. Considerable die rust marks this as a Die State
II example. There is a retained rim cud joining the star behind
Liberty’s head. Considerable luster remains on the golden-smoky
surfaces. (#10422)
1867 1853 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-530, R.2, MS63 PCGS. A
shining Select example of this popular, relatively accessible Liberty
octagonal one dollar issue. Pale canary-gold surfaces offer satiny
luster. (#10507)
1868 1872 Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-726, High R.5, MS64
PCGS. A luminous example of this rarer small octagonal variant.
Surfaces are generally butter-yellow with significant lime accents. As
always for BG-726, the central reverse displays bluntness, although
the strike is sharper than on the Breen-Gillio Second Edition plate
coin. Population: 5 in 64, 0 finer (1/10).(#10553)
1869 1866 Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-740, Low R.6, MS63
PCGS. Ex: Bass. Lemon-gold with peripheral suggests of ruby-
red. The central reverse exhibits the incompleteness of strike
characteristic of the series, but no marks are evident. Population: 6
in 63, 1 finer (1/10).
Ex: Isadore Herman, 11/1973; Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, Part I
(Bowers andMerena, 5/1999), lot 2532. (#10567)
1870 1881 Indian Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-7990, Low R.4, MS66
Prooflike NGC. The Indian design California fractional gold pieces
are highly popular with collectors. This piece displays amazing
contrast with brilliant and highly lustrous devices and deeply
mirrored fields. The surfaces are nearly perfect.(#710641)
1871 1868 Liberty Round 25 Cents, BG-806, R.3, MS66 PCGS.
A gorgeous example with fully brilliant and frosty yellow-gold
luster and excellent details, considering the crude die work of
these pieces. Subtle orange toning adds to its overall eye appeal.
(#10667)
1872 1876 Indian Round 25 Cents, BG-879, R.4, MS65 PCGS.
Yellow-gold surfaces display occasional splashes of light orange and
are very well preserved. Semiprooflike fields accentuate the frosty
design motifs, all of which are relatively sharp except for the top of
A in DOLLAR. This round Gem quarter dollar yields considerable
eye appeal. Population: 11 in 65, 2 finer (12/09).(#10740)
1873 1878/6 Indian Round 25 Cents, BG-883, High R.4, MS65
NGC. Strong yellow-gold with rose overtones and a measure of
contrast on the obverse. Carefully preserved, as required of a Gem.
(#10744)
1874 1881 Indian Round 25 Cents, BG-887, R.3, MS66 NGC.
Bright yellow-gold with amply reflective fields (though not strictly
of Prooflike quality, in NGC’s judgment). Strong eye appeal for this
scarce round issue. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer (1/10).(#10748)
1875 1870 Liberty Round 50 Cents, BG-1010, R.3, MS66 PCGS.
A remarkable butter-gold Premium Gem of this popular Period
Two variety. The strike is above average, and there is no indication
of post-strike contact. Population: 1 in 66, 1 finer (1/10).
(#10839)
1876 1868 Liberty Round 50 Cents, BG-1019, R.5, MS62 NGC.
Attractive yellow-gold luster with suggestions of orange. This rare
variety can be found with reflective surfaces, as is the case here. As
of (1/10), NGC has certified only three examples.(#10848)
1877 1874 Indian Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1124, High R.4, MS62
PCGS. This moderately mirrored octagonal dollar has lovely
orange-gold toning. Both sides are nicely struck and appear smooth
aside from a pair of slender, straight mint-made laminations,
one through the chin and another through the A in DOLLAR.
Population: 12 in 62, 21 finer (1/10).(#10935)

Heritage Auction Galleries Staff
Steve Ivy - Co-Chairman and CEO
Steve Ivy began collecting and studying rare coins as a youth, and as a teenager began advertising coins for sale in national publications
in 1963. Seven years later, at the age of 20, he opened for business in downtown Dallas, and in 1976, incorporated as an auction
company. Steve managed the business as well as serving as chief buyer, buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars of coins
during the 1970s and early 1980s. In early 1983, James Halperin became a full partner, and the name of the corporation was changed
to Heritage Auctions. Steve's primary responsibilities now include management of the marketing and selling efforts of the company, the
formation of corporate policy for long-term growth, and corporate relations with financial institutions. He remains intimately involved
in all the various categories Heritage Auctions deals in today. Steve engages in daily discourse with industry leaders on all aspects of
the fine art and collectibles business, and his views on market trends and developments are respected throughout the industry. He
previously served on both the Board of Directors of the Professional Numismatists Guild (past president), and The Industry Council for Tangible Assets (past
Chairman). Steve's keen appreciation of history is reflected in his active participation in other organizations, including past board positions on the Texas
Historical Foundation and the Dallas Historical Society (where he also served as Exhibits Chairman). Steve is an avid collector of Texas books, manuscripts,
and national currency, and he owns one of the largest and finest collections in private hands. He is also a past Board Chair of Dallas Challenge, and is
currently the Finance Chair of the Phoenix House of Texas.
James Halperin - Co-Chairman
Born in Boston in 1952, Jim formed a part-time rare coin business at age 15 after discovering he had a knack (along with a nearly
photographic memory) for coins. Jim scored a perfect 800 on his math SATs and received early acceptance to Harvard College, but
after attending three semesters took a permanent leave of absence to pursue his full-time numismatic career. In 1975, Jim supervised the
protocols for the first mainframe computer system in the numismatic business, which would catapult New England Rare Coin Galleries
to the top of the industry in less than four years. In 1982, Jim's business merged with that of his friend and former archrival Steve Ivy.
Their partnership has become Heritage Auctions, the third-largest auction house in the world. Jim is also a well-known futurist, an active
collector of EC comics and early 20th-century American art (visit www.jhalpe.com), venture capital investor, philanthropist (he endows
a multimillion-dollar health education foundation), and part-time novelist. His first fiction book, The Truth Machine , was published in
1996, became an international science fiction bestseller, and was optioned for movie development by Warner Brothers and Lions Gate. Jim's second novel,
The First Immortal, was published in early 1998 and immediately optioned as a Hallmark Hall of Fame television miniseries.
■ Greg Rohan - President
I At the age of eight, Greg Rohan started collecting coins as well as buying them for resale to his schoolmates. By 1971, at the age of 10,
I he was already buying and selling coins from a dealer's table at trade shows in his hometown of Seattle. His business grew rapidly, and
I by 1985 he had offices in both Seattle and Minneapolis. He joined Heritage in 1987 as Executive Vice-President. Today, as a partner
I and as President of Heritage, his responsibilities include overseeing the firm's private client group and working with top collectors in
I every field in which Heritage is active. Greg has been involved with many of the rarest items and most important collections handled
I by the firm, including the purchase and/or sale of the Ed Trompeter Collection (the world's largest numismatic purchase according to
the Guinness Book of World Records). During his career, Greg has handled more than $1 billion of rare coins, collectibles and art.
He has provided expert testimony for the United States Attorneys in San Francisco, Dallas, and Philadelphia, and for the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC). He has worked with collectors, consignors, and their advisors regarding significant collections of books, manuscripts, comics, currency,
jewelry, vintage movie posters, sports and entertainment memorabilia, decorative arts, and fine art. Greg is a past Chapter Chairman for North Texas of
the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), and is an active supporter of the arts. Greg co-authored "The Collectors Estate Handbook," winner of the NLG's
Robert Friedberg Award for numismatic book of the year. He previously served on the seven-person Advisory Board to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas,
in his second appointed term.

has generated 200 or more ideas each month since 1995, and has helped increase employee productivity, expand business, and
improve employee retention. Paul oversees the company's highly-regarded IT department, and has been the driving force behind
Heritage's Web development, now a significant portion of Heritage's future plans. As the first auction house that combined traditional
floor bidding with active Internet bidding, the totally interactive system has catapulted Heritage to the top collectible and Fine Art
website (Forbes Magazine's "Best of the Web"). Paul came to Heritage in 1984. Since 1987, he has been Chief Operating Officer for
all Heritage companies and affiliates.

firm specialized in servicing the savviest and most preeminent collectors in numismatics. At only 25, he was accepted into the PNG, and
currently serves on its Consumer Protection Committee and its Legislation/Taxation Issues Committee. In 1992, he was invited to join

and corrections from the podium and those made through the Terms and Conditions of Auctions
appearing on the Internet at HA.com supersede those in the printed catalog.
Buyer’s Premium:
2. On bids placed through Auctioneer, a Buyers Premium of fifteen percent (15%) will be added to
the successful hammer price bid on lots in Coin, Currency, and Philatelic auctions or nineteen and
one-half percent (19.5%) on lots in all other auctions. There is a minimum Buyers Premium of

Auction Venues:
3. The following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions
(Coin, Currency, Comics, and Vintage Movie Poster); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports,
and Stamps). Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet,
telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; Heritage Live and real-time

Bidders:
4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these
Terms and Conditions of Auction (“Bidder(s)”).
5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good
standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded
lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any
time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude
any person from the auction.
6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally
guarantee payment for any successful bid.
Credit:
7. Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit
information (including two collectibles-related business references) well in advance of the Auction
or supply valid credit card information. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program
will only be accepted from pre-registered Bidders; Bidders who are not members of HA.com or
affiliates should pre-register at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of
holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit may be granted at the
discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who
wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social
security number or the last four digits thereof to us so a credit check may be performed prior to
Auctioneer’s acceptance of a bid.
Bidding Options:
8. Bids in Signature® Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed
catalog section entitled “Choose your bidding method.” For auctions held solely on the Internet,
see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at HA.com/common/howtobid.php.
9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail
bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment
(called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half
increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised
amount will be considered your high bid.
10. Auctioneers Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in
bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are
submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written
bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneers place
of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for
executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids
submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of
bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.
Internet bids may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by
Auctioneer (FAX: 214-4438425); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds
for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction
unless prearranged.
11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest
amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid
can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be
between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: “How can I lose
by less than an increment?” on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No
“buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted.

Conducting the Auction:
13. Notice of the consignors liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in
accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A “Minimum Bid” is
an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE
WRITTEN ’’Minimum Bids” ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS,
IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE “Minimum Bid”, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY
A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. ’’Minimum Bids” are generally posted online
several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his
Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live session, or after the ’’Minimum
Bid” for an Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyer’s Premium
and Seller’s Commissions on such lot.
14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of
any dispute between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the
lot. Auctioneer’s decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon
all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on
occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized
bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher.
15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in
its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in “Good Faith” when made by an insolvent
or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory
credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid
by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in “Good Faith.” Any
person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid.
16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids,
or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 40-60% of the low estimate,
the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor.
17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer’s discretion (approximately 50%-60% of
the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall
pass as unsold.
18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken.
Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction.
19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty,
disputed ownership, auctioneer’s clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or
for any other reason and in Auctioneer’s sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s
election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees
(seller’s and buyer’s premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot.
20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer
periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which
Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend
bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to
contact Client Services at 1-800-872-6467.
21. The Auctioneer or its affiliates may consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may bid on those
lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any such bids
at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliates.
The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors, and may extend
financing or other credits at varying rates to certain Bidders in the auction.
22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots
shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such
sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.
Payment:
23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier
checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, all subject to reporting requirements).
All are subject to clearing and funds being received In Auctioneer’s account before delivery of the
purchases. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds” when
drawn on a U.S. bank for ten days, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Credit
Card (Visa or Master Card only) and PayPal payments may be accepted up to $10,000 from non¬
dealers at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer, subject to the following limitations: a) sales are
only to the cardholder, b) purchases are shipped to the cardholder’s registered and verified address,
c) Auctioneer may pre-approve the cardholder’s credit line, d) a credit card transaction may not
be used in conjunction with any other financing or extended terms offered by the Auctioneer, and
must transact immediately upon invoice presentation, e) rights of return are governed by these
Terms and Conditions, which supersede those conditions promulgated by the card issuer, f) floor
Bidders must present their card.
24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer
reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after the close
of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the
Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the lot
and any other damages pertaining to the lot.
25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the States of Texas, California, New York, or
other states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes,
unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the
actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired,
inaccurate, inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the
applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at
and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction or tax must be paid; only if such form or
certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be
made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.
26. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the
maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck
and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot
be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using your credit
card on file.
27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance
will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any
invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount or three
percent (3%) of any installment that is past due. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney
for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs
incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house legal staff, such attorney’s
time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of
independent attorneys.
28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell
the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at
subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer.
A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 10% seller’s
commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable to
pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and
the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less
the 10% seller’s commissions, if sold at an Auctioneer’s auction.
Terms and Conditions of Auction
29. Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full in good funds before delivery of the
merchandise.
30. Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer to secure payment of
the Auction invoice. Auctioneer is further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any

Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect
to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of
the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition,
with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights of offset he
might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on
the invoice. If a Bidder owes Auctioneer or its affiliates on any account, Auctioneer and its affiliates

arrange pick-up and shipping through third-parties; as to such items Auctioneer shall have no
liability. Failure to pick-up or arrange shipping in a timely fashion (within ten days) shall subject
Lots to storage and moving charges, including a $100 administration fee plus $10 daily storage
for larger items and $5.00 daily for smaller items (storage fee per item) after 35 days. In the event
the Lot is not removed within ninety days, the Lot may be offered for sale to recover any past due

36. The laws of various countries regulate the import or export of certain plant and animal properties,
including (but not limited to) items made of (or including) ivory, whalebone, turtleshell, coral,
crocodile, or other wildlife. Transport of such lots may require special licenses for export, import,
or both. Bidder is responsible for: 1) obtaining all information on such restricted items for both
export and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any
such license or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely compliance with standard payment
terms. For further information, please contact Ron Brackemyre at 800-872-6467 ext. 1312.
37. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of

Terms and Conditions of Auction
Additional Terms & Conditions:
COINS & CURRENCY
COINS and CURRENCY TERM A: Signature* Auctions are not on approval. No certified material
may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by
any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified
Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely
no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging error)
a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale:
such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error; submission of the lot to
the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer; and bidder must notify Ron Brackemyre
(1-800-8726467 Ext. 1312) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the non-floor
bidders receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after
Auction. Grading or method of manufacture do not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such
complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD,
NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned
must be housed intact in their original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned
(including those Bidders acting as agents for others) except for authenticity. Late remittance for
purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet THREE (3) DAY
RETURN POLICY: Certified Coin and Uncertified and Certified Currency lots paid for within
seven days of the Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege. You may return
lots under the following conditions: Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify
Auctioneer by contacting Client Service by phone (1-800-872-6467) or e-mail (Bid@HA.com),
and immediately ship the lot(s) fully insured to the attention of Returns, Heritage, 3500 Maple
Avenue, 17th Floor, Dallas TX 75219-3941. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and
condition. You are responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable return
fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each
returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day
period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases
revokes these Return privileges.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM C: Bidders who have inspected the lots prior to any Auction, or
attended the Auction, or bid through an Agent, will not be granted any return privileges, except
for reasons of authenticity.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM D: Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “as
is” without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by Auctioneer that they are
genuine. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is referred
to them for further details: Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), P.O. Box 4776, Sarasota,
FL 34230; Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658;
ANACS, 6555 S. Kenton St. Ste. 303, Englewood, CO 80111; and Independent Coin Grading Co.
(ICG), 7901 East Belleview Ave., Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM E: Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “as is”
without any express or implied warranty, except for guarantee by Auctioneer that they are genuine.
Grading, condition or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its value, and the
opinion of others, including third-party grading services such as PCGS Currency, PMG, and CGA
may differ with that of Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent
opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidder specifically waives any
claim to right of return of any item because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack
thereof, by any grading service. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and
the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), PO Box 4711,
Sarasota FL 34230; PCGS Currency, PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658; Currency Grading
& Authentication (CGA), PO Box 418, Three Bridges, NJ 08887. Third party graded notes are not
returnable for any reason whatsoever.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM F: Since we cannot examine encapsulated coins or notes, they are
sold “as is” without our grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. Auctioneer
shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any
encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchasers remedy, if any, shall be solely against
the service certifying the collectible.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM G: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing
interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves
the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that
accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades
shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM H: Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services,
it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible
that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to
the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM I: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal
risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and
collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For
some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM J: All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine, but
are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and
therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree
with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the
same item with the same grade at two different times. Auctioneer has graded the non-certified
numismatic items, in the Auctioneers opinion, to their current interpretation of the American
Numismatic Associations standards as of the date the catalog was prepared. There is no guarantee
or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards utilized by the Auctioneer will meet
the standards of any grading service at any time in the future.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM K: Storage of purchased coins and currency: Purchasers are advised
that certain types of plastic may react with a coins metal or transfer plasticizer to notes and may
cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid storage in materials that are not inert.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM L: Storage of purchased coins and currency: Purchasers are advised
that certain types of plastic may react with a coins metal or transfer plasticizer to notes and may
cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid storage in materials that are not inert.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM M: NOTE: Purchasers of rare coins or currency through Heritage
have available the option of arbitration by the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG); if an
election is not made within ten (10) days of an unresolved dispute, Auctioneer may elect either
PNG or A.A.A. Arbitration.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM N: For more information regarding Canadian lots attributed to the
Charlton reference guides, please contact: Charlton International, PO Box 820, Station Willowdale
B, North York, Ontario M2K 2R1 Canada.

11. After the auction, you will be notified of your success.
It's that easy!
6-30-08
Choose Your Bidding Method, (Cont'd.)
©HERITAGE Live! Bidding
(participate in the Live auction via the Internet)
1. Look on each auction's homepage to verify whether that auction is "HA.com/Live Enabled." All Signature®
and Grand Format auctions use the HERITAGE Live!™ system, and many feature live audio and/or video.
Determine your lots of interest and maximum bids.
2. Note on the auction's homepage the session dates and times (and especially time zones!) so you can plan your
participation. You actually have two methods of using HERITAGE Live!™: a) you can leave a proxy bid through
this system, much like the Interactive Internet™ (we recommend you do this before the session starts), or b) you
can sit in front of your computer much as the audience is sitting in the auction room during the actual auction.
3. Login at HA.com/Live.
4. Until you become experienced (and this happens quickly!) you will want to login well before your lot comes
up so you can watch the activity on other lots. It is as intuitive as participating in a live auction.
5. When your lot hits the auction block, you can continue to bid live against the floor and other live bidders by
simply clicking the "Bid" button; the amount you are bidding is clearly displayed on the console.
© Mail Bidding
(deposit your maximum Bid with the U.S.P.S. well before the auction starts)
Mail bidding at auction is fun and easy, but by eliminating the interactivity of our
online systems, some of your bids may be outbid before you lick the stamp, and you
will have no idea of your overall chances until the auction is over!
1. Look through the printed catalog, and determine your lots of interest.
2. Research their market value by checking price lists and other price guidelines.
3. Fill out your bid sheet, entering your maximum bid on each lot. Bid using whole
dollar amounts only. Verify your bids, because you are responsible for any errors you
make! Please consult the Bidding Increments chart in the Terms & Conditions.
4. Please fill out your bid sheet completely! We also need: a) Your name and complete
address for mailing invoices and lots; b) Your telephone number if any problems or
changes arise; c) Your references; if you have not established credit with Heritage,
you must send a 25% deposit, or list dealers with whom you have credit established;
d) Total your bid sheet; add up all bids and list that total in the box; e) Sign your bid
sheet, thereby agreeing to abide by the Terms & Conditions of Auction printed in
the catalog.
5. Mail early, because preference is given to the first bid received in case of a tie.
6. When bidding by mail, you frequently purchase items at less than your maximum bid. Bidding generally opens at the
next published increment above the second highest mail or Internet bid previously received; if additional floor, phone,
or HERITAGE Live!™ bids are made, we act as your agent, bidding in increments over any additional bid until you
win the lot or are outbid. For example, if you submitted a bid of $750, and the second highest bid was $375, bidding
would start at $400; if no other bids were placed, you would purchase the lot for $400.
7. You can also Fax your Bid Sheet if time is short. Use our exclusive Fax Hotline: 214-443-8425.
© Telephone Bidding (when you are traveling, or do not have access to HERITAGE Live!™)
1. To participate in an auction by telephone, you must make preliminary arrangements with Client Services
(Toll Free 866-835-3243) at least three days before the auction.
2. We strongly recommend that you place preliminary bids by mail or Internet if you intend to participate by telephone.
On many occasions, this dual approach has reduced disappointments due to telephone (cell) problems, unexpected
travel, late night sessions, and time zone differences. Keep a list of your preliminary bids, and we will help you avoid
bidding against yourself.
©Attend in Person (whenever possible)
Auctions are fun, and we encourage you to attend as many as possible - although our HERITAGE Live!™ system brings
all of the action right to your computer screen. Auction dates and session times are printed on the title page of each
catalog, and appear on the homepage of each auction at HA.com. Join us if you can!

Take
Months tof Pay...
Heritage will
Finance Your
Purchase
We're collectors too, and we understand that on
occasion there is more to buy than there is cash.
Consider Heritage's Extended Payment Plan [EPP] for
your purchases totaling $2,500 or more.
Extended Payment Plan [EPP] Conditions
• Minimum invoice total is $2,500.
• Minimum Down Payment is 25% of the total invoice.
• A signed and returned EPP Agreement is required.
• The EPP is subject to a 3% fully refundable Set-up Fee (based
on the total invoice amount) payable as part of the first monthly
payment.
• The 3% Set-up Fee is refundable provided all monthly payments
are made by eCheck, bank draft, personal check drawn on good
funds, or cash; and if all such payments are made according to
the EPP schedule.
• Monthly payments can be automatically processed with an
eCheck, Visa, or MasterCard.
• You may take up to four equal monthly payments to pay the
balance.
• Interest is calculated at only 1% per month on the unpaid
balance.
• Your EPP must be kept current or additional interest may apply.
• There is no penalty for paying off early.
• Shipment will be made when final payment is received.
• All traditional auction and sales policies still apply.
There is no return privilege once you have confirmed your sale,
and penalties can be incurred on cancelled invoices. To avoid
additional fees, you must make your down payment within 14
days of the auction. All material purchased under the EPP will be
physically secured by Heritage until paid in full.
To exercise the EPP option, please notify Eric Thomas at
214.409.1241 or email at EricT@HA.com upon receipt of
your invoice.
We appreciate your business and wish you good luck with
your bidding.
